Profiling Harman Baryta gloss paper

[colourperfect]

Hi,

I have received my sample pack and am creating some profiles with an Epson 2100.

I noticed that when I checked the profiles I have created that there seemed to be some issues in the shadows, not that uncommon !

I examined the grey balance traces in PMP5 and noticed the profile I created was far from tidy towards the origin.

I compared in against a canned profile I had downloaded and this confirmed the disparity.

I suspect this may be due to too much or too little ink?

Any ideas?

I havent got a huge amount of paper to play with so I thought I would ask the question

My custom profile



Harmans canned profile



thanks

It can be ink limiting , but more often than not it is color maps (separations) that are incompatible with the media and the ink limiting prescribed.
So you could do optimization with say Monaco for a pre-linearised driver chart, or try different charts in PM5.
