Hello List, If you create CMYK profiles with X-Rite i1Profiler, pay close attention. From 1.4.2, the meaning of the black start slider in Profile Settings has changed. A black start of 10 now means that from L*10 and darker, black is used, as opposed to a start from 10%, which are of course highlights. So from now on, this is the rule: - Select a Black start of 100 to get Black into tonal CMY values from 0-100% - Select a Black start of 70 to get Black into tonal CMY values from 30-100% - Select a Black start of 50 to get Black into tonal CMY values from 50-100% - Select a Black start of 30 to get Black into tonal CMY values from 70-100% - Select a Black start of 10 to get Black into tonal CMY values from 90-100% A mistake is easily made. I shall restrain myself from any sarcastic comment.
