Hi to all,
The print issue on the PC and Mac platforms with respect to color
management has reached a low point. As you all saw in the customers
complaint, there is no generic solution to color management on the
platforms. Of greater importance, there is a complete disconnect
between the OS vendors and the print vendors. Here is what we are
trying to do at X-rite: We are bringing together an internal group next
week to formulate a proposal of how we , at X-rite, feel that color
management relating to print should be presented to the end user. We
will present this proposal to the ICC at the June meeting in Tokyo. We
should have representatives from the three major print vendors (Epson,
Canon, and HP) at a minimum at that meeting. The fundamental goal is to
present an end-user with a STANDARD COLOR MANAGEMENT UI PANEL in the
printer driver REGARDLESS of the printer manufacturer. I have proposed
to the ICC in earlier meetings that we should have a Logo program that
involves the certification of printer driver to insure that it meets the
minimum requirements to print in a color managed environment. If we can
come to some conclusions within X-rite, I will post our proposal on this
forum for comment and bring those comments to the ICC as well.
As much as I like the guys that make RIPS, I find it hard to believe
that an application vendor would recommend a RIP to solve a very basic
printing problem. As an industry, we cannot allow the OS vendors and
print vendors to get off the hook on these issues. We pay for the OS,
we pay for the printer and media, and we should demand that they work on
the platform. To do otherwise is to guarantee that the problem will
never be solved.
Good luck to you all,
Tom
