I have an i1 from GretagMacbeth for today. I am trying to calibrate my Epson 1200 but have some questions. I would appreciate if somebody could give me some input. So here is my question. First I have to print a test target. I then scan this target in. With these measurements a new printer profile is created. I am a bit confused what profile I have to use now(PS6.0 Print Options->Show More Options->ColorManagment->Print Space, that's the correct place, right?). Basically, it should be the new profile. But that still does not give me accurate results. I believe the problem is that when initialy printing the test target a different profile was used (since I haven't created a new one yet). Obviously the i1 HW does not know about that profile so it can't figure out what color translation has been done when I was printing the test target. So how do I do that correctly? Idealy, I could disable a profile for printing the test target. Is this possible? If so how?
Here is a practical example: 1) RGB in PS: 34 34 34 2) RGB sent to printer through profile1: 44 44 44 3) RGB should be 40 40 40 4) New profile is created with correction 44-40=4 44-40=4 44-40=4 5) RGB sent to printer through profile2: 34+4=38 34+4=38 34+4=38 But 38 38 38 is wrong. It should be 40 40 40. The error comes because profile1 is not taken into account. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? LAUNCH - Your Yahoo!
