I wanted to bump this thread from March on to the list again.
We need to create variants of Fogra 52 with increased K generation, but the
results are terrible.
The Fogra 52 data produces neutrals composed of CMK and zero Y in both
i1Profiler and Argyll.
This is the exact opposite of what we need on press
Why is this happening?
Is this just a problem with i1Profiler & Argyll — which work as expected with
every other Fogra data set?
Or are the ECI making additional edits to create their profiles using
Heidelberg software from this data set and not declaring it in the
specification?
