Just to be clear, ColorAnt is, strictly speaking, not a profile editor but a measurement data editor. You can import a profile, provided it contains the spectral measurement data, but it does not save out a new profile but rather a new data file (CGATS, CxF, XML, named ICC, etc.). However, if you do have a profiling app you can quickly generate a new profile from the edited data. ColorAnt comes in two versions M, and L, listed at $1250 and $2500 respectively. The only differences are in multicolor functions and the ability to embed CxF/X4 spot color data in PDFs. Randy: If you contact me offline I can explain a bit more.

Proofing stock

Not necessary. When you convert to the printer space using absolute colorimetric rendering the a darker, yellower paper color of SWOP3 will be simulated. When there is the possibility that a range of print conditions will need to be simulated, it is convenient to choose a proofing paper that is comparable to or brighter than the brightest press substrate likely to be used as the target. A bit of extra bluishness is good as well, as simulating warmer papers uses mostly yellow ink, which doesn’t darken the print much. The same is untrue of simulating bluish, brightened stocks, with the result that the result may be noticeably too dark. In my view, GRACo2006-matched papers have neither the brightness nor bluishness to be versatile enough for most commercial shops.

Hello - I am looking for some advice. I am doing some proofing for a client, and originally was going to cross render to GRACoL coated so I ordered and profiled *Epson **Standard Proofing Paper (240)* for my printer. Now the client would like to go to SWOP 3 (after consulting with their print house). Should I order some Epson *Standard Proofing Paper SWOP3* or can I stick with the first paper (GRACoL) and cross render to SWOP 3 instead of GRACoL? Thanks! Mark Franzen mark.franzen25(a)gmail.com

Chinese spectro
by Lorenzo Ridolfi 16 Nov '18

Hi, Does anyone have any REAL experience with a Chinese spectrophotometer model number NS800 from 3nh? I contacted the manufacture on China and they said the performance is close to a X-Rite instrument… but, of course, I’d like to have a REAL customer report. https://www.amazon.com/Smart-Meter-Professional-Colorimeter-spectrophotomet… <https://www.amazon.com/Smart-Meter-Professional-Colorimeter-spectrophotomet…> For a 8mm aperture spectro with multiple light sources the price is good and it has a small footprint, which facilitates the integration with a XY table. Best Regards, Lorenzo
