Thanks Louis. For ICC profile, either would be helpful, whether it’s from one set of charts, or “refined” with multiple averaged and or smoothed readings across multiple charts. For DVL, it would just be standard industry specifications from freely available data sets, such as Fogra39 to Fogra52.

I’m looking for common ballpark costs of: 1) CMYK ICC Profile creation as a service, per profile (press, inkjet proofing etc) 2) CMYK to CMYK DeviceLink profile service, per profile (standard press condition repurposing) Please state the currency for clarity (Euro, USD etc). Any other...

If this is only for RGB contone images, Photoshop can use any multichannel ICC profile, such as: Expanded Color Gamut (ECG) Project - Idealliance Another option is CGS ORIS X Gamut

So around $8.27 per sign for material only. So, for 26 signs, the material costs alone are $215 out of your sell price of $540. Leaving labour (printing time, mounting and other finishing time, packing time etc.) and outwork delivery fees. I can only comment on our Accura360 MIS, where we...

If you were OK with rasterizing the file in Photoshop for preview purposes, then it's easy to create an action to visually show detail at a given pixel size that is considered too small. Here is a simplified animated example, however, with other content it might prove to be more challenging:

Inkjet ink has many variations: aqueous pigment or dye, eco-solvent, UV, latex/resin so there are many variables.

Not that I am aware of.
