I would use the following settings: RGB: RGB source = sRGB Use RGB embedded profiles = Yes RGB rendering intent = Relative BPC or Perceptual (depending on the printer profile, papper etc) Print RGB gray using black only = Off CMYK: CMYK source = Your preferred house standard Use CMYK embedded...

Which proofing software do you use? We are using GMG ColorProof alongside Epson SC-P5000 devices. The default GMG "media standards" cap the printing resolution at 720x1440 dpi. However, by configuring your custom print standard through the Epson Driver, you can enhance this to 2880x1440 dpi and...

Yeah, something looks off with the chart or the measurement. I would retry the process and maybe choose another chart. Also if you have another measurement device to try with, like a i X-rite 1 Pro or similar. Best of luck!

The shape of the gamut looks really strange. Could you compare it with Fogra39 and show us the result? I've done many profiles on with Easymedia for a Rho P10-250 but did never have this issue. Are you using a third party ink?

We are using the Fogra51 and Fogra52 values instead of 12647-2, mainly because the values better represents the real world of our production (paper color and CMYK inks).

Thanks, but that thread is 4 years old. Since then Windows 11 has been released. I'm guessing that could have changed peoples opinions.

Hi, I've been working with Prepress for the last 20 years and since I started we've always been using Mac's at the Prepress departments. But in the last year I have a growing feeling that it might be better if we transitioned to Windows (11). I can't think of any software that we use that is...

To me it sounds like you are trying to create a "faster horse" decades after the car was invented.

See the screenshot from my previous answer. Edit Workflow properties (for the specific flow) > Image Label Control Strips > Control Strips > Select the wanted strip

As long as that custom profile has it's own mx-profile in GMG the answer is YES. But maybe they are doing some shortcut that I'm not aware of and therefore cannot include a media wedge??

I'm also a long time GMG ColorProof user and administrator. Adding a media wedge is two clicks away in the workflow settings. And a media wedge can be added for any proofing condition.

Regarding the spot colors: To proof a spot color, you need a precise definition of the color. I assume you mean Pantone. Most professional proof RIPs have a Pantone library with Lab targets that can override the alternate color space of the spot color in the incoming file. The Lab value is...

Any CMYK profile can be proofed and verified, regardless of whether it is a standard or not. To check if a proof matches a specific CMYK profile, you need to have the ICC-profile that corresponds to it, some kind of media wedge, appropriate software and measurement device. The ICC-profile...

Yes, I have done a deep dive. Today we are using Enfocus Switch as our main workflow tool. Enfocus Switch are using other tools (applications) for doing various tasks. Some of the tools we are using with Switch are: Pitstop Server (PDF handeling and color management), Tilia Griffin (LFP...

This is why you (in most cases) need to use a RIP when creating you own curves or icc-profiles. The RIP contains drivers for your specific printer and you can bypass all color management when printing (other then the color management of your choice that you have selected within the RIP). 14...

I would have done two different products with 64 pages each, but only output the sheets/plates that were needed for each stock.

FYI: AGFA Apogee released a Hotfix a couple a months ago for Apogee v12: HF_93056_PDFRender_184IndesignFiles For us this solved the issue with Apogee having trouble to parse PDF-files from newer Indesign versions.

Hi, we have both SwissQ machines and Caldera. EasyMedia in Caldera is a a great tool for making transfer curves, linearization, inklimits and making profiles in a step-by-step workflow. I would recommend the following settings when making profiles for the SwissQ: Inklimit about 260% Profile...

no

ECO3 Apogee (Former Agfa) is a really good workflow system, I also think you can buy Apogee as a cloud based solution (pay as you go).
