Ctein Post On Profile Issue

[digitaldog]

The problem, as I understand it, is that the image looked fine in soft-proofing. Only the final print exhibited the issues (abrupt colour and tonal boundaries).

Then even more info is needed before the (sorry) rant. What kind of display (wide gamut?) calibrated how? More info is needed about the profile as the preview table could be suspect or out of sync with the output table. This fellow obviously had a problem but the information provided is so little that its not clear this has anything to do with a profile. It may. But the text saying no one could figure out how to know if the image was outside the printer gamut kind of illustrates the problem solving capabilities is limited. Given enough information and samples, one could nail where the failing occurred.

Going back to the first Ctein lines on this issue he mentions that the small print through his normal CM workflow was alright but the larger one not. He edited the larger one though for other reasons. It would be interesting to read how the small print goes through the printer CM solution he used in the end for the large one and how it shows gamut issues in soft proofing, either at Ctein's side or on Mike Chaney's system.


met vriendelijke groeten, Ernst
