Michael,
I'm glad to hear how satisfy the HDM experience is making you. And say that
I almost went to the ICCdevCon conference in Portland, in November last year
-- we would have had a ball ;-)
Are you currently tapping into the integrated capabilities of ImageControl,
ICC profiling or process calibration, and assisted make-readies? Like, given
a target ICC profile and given press sheets measurements, are you able to
operate the system so that it will make the decisions about which ink keys
to operate in order to match the expected colors with the lowest deltaE? I
think this is definitely the way the industry is going.
