Gordo, I think that your point that the 3-color gray is too sensitive to density changes has some merit. Although I also see the validity in an early warning that is more sensitive than the page content. I'm curious how you feel about it's use to indicate that the TVI is out of whack even if the...

I dislike the phrase "going forward" to mean "in the future". Also "go to market" instead of "marketing".

We use the 200 weight. It works fine.

That's what I'm doing with the SM210, but I really need more -b and more OB. (And more cowbell.) 3D view of IT/8 chart data for press sheet vs uncalibrated proof. Also, L value of black is not low enough on proof.

The Oris Pearlproof Select Semi-Matte has "reduced" optical brighteners and is similar to what I'm currently using (Kodak SMP210). SMP210: L96.09 a0.77 b-2.37 Oris Pearlproof Select Semi-Matte: L96.02 a.62 b-1.47 (as measured from swatch book) Oris Pearlproof Select Semi-Matte: L96.6 a1.5...

With the switch to the new viewing booth standard with more UV light, the new measurement standards that include UV light, and the increasing use of optical brighteners in printing papers, where are the proofing papers that include optical brighteners? A few years ago the trend was to make...

I would second the complaint about the output preview window sealing the focus. It should not behave like a second document window. It should behave like a palette, like it does in InDesign. Also, it is too big. It should be smaller, and resizable like it is in indesign. Lastly, it needs a clear...

Preferences --> Interface. Turn off "match pasteboard to theme color"

Gordo, I have a few questions about you explanation: 1. Are these examples supposed to represent various different hypothetical platesetter designs or are you implying some plateseters, Kodak's or other brands, are able to produce variable spot sizes? 2. Do the various spot sizes in your chart...

If you're printing in the horse latitudes you should be using an Equestrian dot.

I thought the yellow angle was equal to your latitude? 0 degrees at the equator, 90 at the poles. 51 degrees in London.

That's too bad. I was hoping it was just 2 lists of Lab values.

I think it would be the LUT, the table that converts each input color to its corresponding output color? I need the ability to edit a profile to add saturation. However, I don't want the saturation control that is built into ProfileMaker or Kodak Colorflow, which I believe is similar to the...

It it possible to extract the raw conversion table data from a profile into Excel so it can be edited using spreadsheet formulas? And then put it back in the profile?

Ok, I misunderstood that part. What do you see in the built in Preps preview? Have you tried reinstalling Preps?
