Contract proofs in Los Angeles?
by Dennis Dunbar 29 Jan '15

29 Jan '15

A client is looking for a proofing service in the Los Angeles area that can make contract level proofs from his images so he can check color before sending on to his clients. Does anyone have a recommendation for a place in LA that does a good job with these? (Preferably in the Westside/ South Bay area.) Thanks!

lighting question
by Mike Stewart 23 Jan '15

23 Jan '15

A client who absolutely, no questions asked; wants the final printed sheet to match a proof (Epson) when viewed in his office. The office uses fluorescent lighting (F11, F12 - don't know). According to the client it is being done by a printer. The client supplies the Epson proof to the printer; the printer prints and somehow the two are supposed to match each other when viewed together in the office. Does the printer make an internal proof based on the office lighting and prints to that ??? I can think of numerous scenarios; all of which seem to be a rather large pain. Mike Stewart

Viewing EV
by Anthony Sanna 17 Jan '15

I have a large and simple setup for viewing prints. It's a wall in a room covered in cork (4' up) with a room length track with solux fixtures and bulbs. I'm going to take a break and even out the lighting using my old Luna Pro. Could anyone take a guess at what a good viewing EV might be? -- Tony - Anthony Sanna (608) 206-3134 asanna(a)ismaldo.com

Device values from i1 swatch measurements
by Jeremy Hansen 17 Jan '15

Hello, all. Anyone aware of an application which will facilitate reflective measurement of a sample, using an Eye-One Pro (ideally, any rev, A-E), and return device values for a chosen ICC profile? It would need to run on the latest Mac OS. Export options (such as Excel, Photoshop) would be nice, but not necessary. This functionality was available in PM ColorPicker and Eye-One Share, neither of which are supported or functional on current Mac platform. Thanks for any suggestions!
