Well... It's procedure more than machinery really. That and perhaps ink cost. You would run through one whole sh!tload of little cartridges trying to do this. I just bought a little Epson XP-5200 on Amazon for 80 bucks for printing invoices and the like, and it actually prints well enough that...

Okay, but... You don't create dot gain curves with an ICC profile in any environment. There is no part of an ICC profile that does that. An ICC profile is -- again -- simply a characterization of how any device that reproduces color using primary colors does that reproduction in any given...

Not exactly. An ICC profile is a characterization of any device that creates color using primary colors producing color in a particular state. For the profiling scenario you're describing to work, you'd first have to be using a profiled proofer printing in a particular state, and using that...

Good morning, Well... it depends. But to break it down a bit, and to be completely accurate: No, "dotgain compensation" is not "built into" an ICC profile. There are, however, a lot of terminologies that overlap in this industry and a lot of people also use one terminology when they really...

Well, I'm not sure I can fix it, but with some effort I can damn sure tell you what it is. Feel free to email me at: [email protected]

What media, what RIP, and are any colors worse than others?

Nothing I'm aware of. Is this something new, or has it always happened?

Zb, What type of printer, and what exactly is your inkset? Mike Adams Correct Color

Well obviously something happened. If you want to look for answers on the internet from someone who's never even seen the machine, that's as good a place to start as any. Otherwise call a tech.

Thing is, PC's are dirt cheap. And most are plenty powerful these days to run a RIP and one printer. Only thing I'd note if you do decide to go that route is to make sure you get Windows Professional and not Home. Setting up a little laptop as a RIP computer is a not in-elegant solution. And...

Do you work for free as well?

Widmark, Well, truth be told, since I stay almost exclusively in large format inkjet, I can't say I've ever seen a use for device link profiles period. I assume they have some use in traditional litho, maybe going from some standard CMYK space like Gracol or SWOP to some specific press space...

A 12 color Canon? As in an aqueous fine-art machine? If so, the last thing you need to be messing with is device link profiles. (Actually, device-link profiles are pretty worthless in my opinion in large format inkjet printing anyway, but you can salvage a useable product with them if you're...
