Ok, so I can linearize an Inkjet proofer to have a great big gamut, why can't I do this with my sheetfed offset litho press? I know all the plus's & minus's to going by the standards and I don't want to go down that road, but I don't want to be like the rest of the sheep (Bahh Bahh) and print to a standard. I think we can achieve color better than the standards and want our customers to know it and take advantage of it. Yes I know, if they design and squash down their pretty images into SWOP color space, that they have now limited themselves to that color space and now can not take advantage of the "BIG" color space I hope to accomplish. That's a whole nother thread.
So my question is two-fold. Correct me if I am wrong, but I will need to linearize my press first, right? Being in a perfect world I will beilieve all the mechanics of my press are good. If I am linearized, I would be gray balanced, right? This would give me my max gamut achievable on that particular press, right?
Now let say I profile my great big linearized color space and I want to create a device link that goes to another big color space, what's out there that I can use besides the standards that limit my color? Is there one out there? Is my best bet to just use my linearized press profile to achieve maximum color?
I thank all that comment in advance!
