Dear list. I have a question. A typical print RGB ICC will create contrast curves to match print output to a monitor. When printing on low dMax papers (matte) this contrast curve is higher than on high dMax papers (glossy). My question is this: is there any ICC system out there that you know of that does not create this contrast curve? I’m looking to build entirely linear ICCs where printed contrast of a given image (let’s say an Adobe RGB/Gamma2.2 image) is linear from dMax to dMin. I understand that this will create problems where contrast is perceptible different between matte and glossy papers for any given image, but that is sort-of the point for the project I have in mind. Happy 2018 :) Best, Walker
