    Tolerance for Black to G7

    In the Excel file I downloaded from you link, on the CMC page, I have placed L=16, a=0 and b=0 in the reference and then L=18, a=0 and b=0. My results, which show no H or tolerance being calculated, are the attached screen shot. Are your results different? -Bill-

    Tolerance for Black to G7

    Greetings Michael, Thanks, as always for your interest. I do have the Excel file you referenced, and while the formula in that file does not compute the hue for black (whereas mine returns 180°), it also cannot compute a tolerance number. Bruce Linbloom's website does compute a tolerance for...

    Tolerance for Black to G7

    Greetings, I have created a zipped Excel file (see attached) that will calculate C, H and dE (CMC2:1) to G7 based on the readings from my 528. I use this file when setting up our flexo presses, as I have found it is more accurate to average 3 consecutive readings. My challenge is with black. I...

    D50/2deg vs D65/2deg vs 5k Viewing Booth conditions

    D50/2 vs D65/2 D50/2 vs D65/2 Greetings, I also have a customer that is asking us to report using D65/2. Mike Eddington and I had a discussion that he posted on the colorsync list a month or so ago about this challenge as our customer is basing their specs, for the most part, on the G7...

    G7 Numbers Conversion

    G7 Conversion G7 Conversion Greetings Michael, X-rite's spectrodensitometers have many choices for illuminant and angles. In fact if one is not careful of what buttons they push, one can accidentally change an illuminant /angle with little effort. One can also input the G7 values as...

    G7 Numbers Conversion

    Greetings, Would someone be so kind as to convert the G7 Lab numbers under 50/2° to what they would be under 65/2°. I am guessing that since the illumination is different between 50 and 65, there would also a difference in the hue and chroma numbers to compensate for the difference. True...

    Font Conversion

    Almaink: I had suggested to our Illinois location to try that trick and they indicated they had and it had not worked. So, I decided to try it and it "appeared" to work. I say "appeared" because after getting it to work, I quit Illustrator, removed the font, and then reopened the file I had...

    Font Conversion

    A little more researched to a link I have visited earlier that I thought was and I discovered a program named Trans Type Pro. Their demo version allows conversion, but placed a artifact on the font which renders it unusable. Full version is $179.00. However it did allow me to identify the...

    Font Conversion

    T: Font Monger appears to be a dead program as first two links on search page go to review articles written in 1993, or before. oxburger: The particular troubling fonts are in our Illinois location, I am in California, so I do not know what they look like. I do know that our SOP is to try to...

    Good Profile vs Bad Profile

    Thanks to All, Rich, I agree that in my case too many patches might be more detrimental than helpful. Dave - I would not have attempted such a thing as reducing a target, except I just had great success at a Cal Poly FIRST seminar doing it with a target made by one of their instructors that...

    Good Profile vs Bad Profile

    Greetings Dave, I started with an IT8/7.4 that I received from CGS that included the P2P. It has a total of 1960 patches. Misus the 275 for the P2P, and the "extra" white patches in the last row, the target has 1642 color patches - a few more than the standard IT8/7.4. This may have something...

    Good Profile vs Bad Profile

    Greetings, I have run a few profile runs on presses in our Texas plant. The last run produced a strange looking profile. Until this last run I have been using a custom chart with 992 patches - I am a narrow web flexo printer and "regular" charts do not fit on my press web. This last run I built...
