    Announcing The Correct Color Channel

    Thank you for bringing to my attention your comments on G7 in writing. I did look them over- but I am confused about something. I use the Ergosoft RIP and was considering G7 given the claims regarding grey balance. In the process described in the Curve4 manual, I am not sure whether your...

    Why arent any of the latest Benq Displays on this list of Gracol Certified Displays ?

    Looks like it should be based on Adobe 99% and GRACOL 2006. You do need to make sure that you can do a good monitor profile with a color measurement device and profiling software.

    Why arent any of the latest Benq Displays on this list of Gracol Certified Displays ?

    Independent Test Reveals Canon Colorado 1650 a Standout

    With regard to one aspect of this report- the discussion of Pantone spot color performance is in some ways not very meaningful because a CMYK inkset is inherently limiting in reproducing many Pantone colors with less than 3 DE2000 difference. Also, the report mentioned only in-RIP human...

    Pantone Color of the Year-2020: PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue

    I don't know about a mixing formula, but I do know that Pantone Color Manager can export a CGATS file of all the L*a*b* numbers for all the colors in the fashion TCX deck. The L*a*b* number should be the most accurate measurement, under the available D50 or D65 illumination choices.

    Best Wide Format printer at 60+ Inches for Fine Art Photography?

    Is the reason a solvent printer is not considered appropriate for fine art printing because they typically do not offer inksets like CcMmYKkOG? I have seen 3rd party ink providers who provide CcMmYKOG ecosolvent inks. Or are there other reasons?
