I calibrated and made a profile for a Bergger PN33 paper on the Z3100ps. I got a print with gray splotches in highly saturated areas. I went back and softproofed the image in CS3, using the Bergger profile I had generated, and the Out Of Gamut warning covered areas of the picture with the dreaded gray.
I down loaded Bergger's new Z3100 profile for that paper. When I softproofed the same image in CS3 using their canned profile, *nothing* in the image showed up as out of gamut. Their canned profile was much better than the one generated by my Z3100.
I had selected Fine Art Paper >250 gsm, as this paper is 300 gsm. It is also textured.
I used the profiling target that would fit on 13x19 sheets, which is the size of the paper I have.
Is this the best I can expect from the Z3100 advanced profiling software and builit in spectro combination? I went back and softproofed some images for the Epson Enhanced Matte profile I made, and it, too, showed Out Of Gamut areas.
There's gotta be a better way, for example, to know what paper-types to choose in setting up the printer for profiling. I downloaded the latest HP white paper on profiling non-HP papers, but that still leaves a large, vague and unspecified area of information needed for us to make the best choice for a given paper.
I also checked out the Wikipedia website where some information about Z3100 profiles are posted, but that was not much help with the Bergger paper.
I think it would be good on the Luminous Landscape forums to have a spot for Z3100 profiles, not necessarily to post profiles, but at least the choices of paper type that have produced successful profiles using the built in spectro and APS.
