I'm fairly new in digital printing, mainly because I scored a good deal on Epson 7880. I do mostly analog but that's another story. I red lots of threads but I couldn't find how to set up Silverfast color management section for calibration.
I tried several options but none of them worked (one worked but I turned off monitor ICC profile as well).
I set the color management as follows:
CMS/Color management:
Scanner > Internal: None;
Internal > Monitor: NEC P221W custom Profile;
Internal > Output: RGB.
Profiles for ColorSync
Scanner (Reflective): Default ICC (dimmed)
Scanner (Transparent): <None>
Internal: ProPhoto
Gray: None
Output/Printer: <None> (dimmed)
Rendering Intent: Perceptual
Embedded Profile:
Embed ICC profile: Checked
Profile to Embed: ProPhoto
I did a IT8 scan and evaluated in Monaco since I have Monaco EZcolor Calibration package. All went well, obtained ICC profile. Opened the Silverfast and then changed Scanner > Internal: New Epson 4990 profile. Other options remained the same. Scanned the IT8 Profile again and... went greeninsh. However, if I change Internal > Monitor option to <none>, looks very good, nicely satuared, curves fantastic, greys are neutral.
Question one: Are my settings and calibration process correct? If not can you point me to proper set up?
Question two: If set up is correct, do I keep color management for monitor turned off or it must be turned on?
Thanks for the advice.
