Version 4 and 2 find today.
« on: February 26, 2011, 10:02:30 pm »

While creating CMYK paper profiles for my Xerox 700 Digital Press today I was quite surprised to find that this same scrum dot (that we have found printing in 10.6 to RGB inkjet printers) occurs with version 4 profiles created for Profilemaker Pro. After doing some testing recreated the profiles (from the same target read) as version 2 and V4 in both OS 10.6.5 and Win 7 64-bit , I found no scrum dot in the V2 profiles in the non image area, but found a light cyan dots in the output when using V4 profiles created by PMP in both operating system.

The integrated Fiery RIP did all the profile conversion. Neither OS was in involved except that the PDF files were generated from Indesign CS4 and CS5 to a USWebCoatedSWOP assignment. Print from ID  through the driver to the Fiery with the same results.

Does this have something to do with Adobe apps after all even when not using Apples new printing path, like from InDesign?

So many question and too little time to test!

Yup, I’ve seen scum dot issues there as well as with PROFILER. Stick with V2 profiles whenever possible.
