Hi Lee. What you need is a transmission spectrodensitometer, such as a Spectroscan T, a DTP41T (both discontinued), or Barbieri LFP. Best of luck, Mike

Re: SWOP certified papers for Epson 7800?? Papers aren't certified; proofing systems are. The system consists of a specific combination of printing device, RIP/RIP settings, output profile and linearization file. The list is here: http://www.swop.org/certification/systemlist.asp Each approved...

Re: Epson Proofing Paper I second the vote for EFI Validation 250 Satin. ((Disclosure: I do have a commercial relationship with EFI). It's very similar to the Epson, which I also like a lot, but is a tad bluer to correspond to the GRACoL white point of 95 0 -2. Val 250 is about 95 0 -2.7--close...

Re: EFI Colorproof XF and showing dotgain in your proofs Hi Dub, There's some understandable confusion here. Dot gain on an inkjet printer does not necessarily equate in a clear, usable way to dot gain on press. The inkjet dot gain measured after linearizing and ink limiting but before...

Re: Digital Printer and G7? Who suggested the Hammermill paper? if you're trying to simulate GRACoL you need a coated paper that can hold at least as much color as a #1 coated press substrate. Maybe I've completely misunderstood what you're trying to do...

Re: Digital Printer and G7? This is a little unclear. You want to simulate GRACoL on your printer? Yes, you do need ICC profiles to do it well, even if you were able to apply G7 curves in your RIP--overprints especially require ICC color management to match them. Just linearize as best you can...

Re: G7 SIDs Hi Aaron, Let me just add to the remarks by those two very capable gentlemen. G7 is really a method for optimizing press and proofing performance and therefore tells you the "how" more than the "what." However, you do obviously need some target values on press to get started, and...
