Hi All,Thanks for the replies.First off, I was not able to get to the edge of the new printer's gamut with just the EFI RGB driver. Then I tried creating a media setting as a simulation of Adobe RGB which is what the client files are mostly in. The results were still not as wide a gamut as printing through a postscript driver without a profile to an older dye ink printer. Then I set the simulation for a much larger gamut...Prophoto RGB. Add an Absolute rendering intent and the output gamut through the EFI Rip expanded past the gamut of a non-profiled printer. (except for cyans) Quite a surprise, but for packaging designers, the extra gamut is a real treat. Now they want a Gracol simulation for process colors, but also accurate Spot color simulation at the same time. Very demanding client, no? Randy Zaucha
Wide gamut printing for spot with simultanious process 4C simulation sounds pretty standard to me in a press proofing environment. Generally speaking, demanding clients are the most desirable, IMO. Or at least, taking that attitude is healthy. Have fun with this! Scott Martin www.on-sight.com On Mar 20, 2012, at 10:50 PM, Randy Zaucha <zbet66@yahoo.com> wrote:
