With the switch to the new viewing booth standard with more UV light, the new measurement standards that include UV light, and the increasing use of optical brighteners in printing papers, where are the proofing papers that include optical brighteners? A few years ago the trend was to make...

It it possible to extract the raw conversion table data from a profile into Excel so it can be edited using spreadsheet formulas? And then put it back in the profile?

Does anybody know what happened to the Kodak GUA forums? They've been down for 3 weeks.

I have some questions about the use of color profiles when preparing images for different printing conditions. I have a customer supplied image which is CMYK. It may or may not have a profile and if it does, the profile is probably SWOP or GRACoL. It probably started out as RGB, but who knows...

I'm going to be characterizing a UV press on uncoated paper. I'll be using the GRACoL aim points in SpotOn as a target while on press, but I know I won't get there. However, I do want to get the maximum gamut possible, which might mean running the inks somewhat heavier than normal. Does anyone...

Can someone tell me where to find the tolerances that are used to judge proofs and press sheets for the G7 qualification process?

I have a KM C550 and am having trouble with image skew. I have run the Fiery tray alignment and the points that it deals with are lined up ok. However, The image is skewed enough that the alignment of other areas is out by up to 2mm front to back. Specifically, when viewing a landscape 12x18"...

If I build a profile and specify a total ink limit of 300%, is there anything other than that setting that effects the ink limit? In other words, if I used that profile to convert an RGB color of 0,0,0, to CMYK, why would the CMYK build be 100,33,21,100 with a ink limit of only 253?

I'm in the process of calibrating my proofer (HP Z2100) and I've noticed that when I compare the 3D gammut of the baselin'd but uncalibrated proofer with that of the GRACoL data set, some of the GRACoL gammut is outside the proofer. It is most apparent in the yellow and orange areas...

I'm trying to build a printer profile for an HPZ2100 using a matte proofing paper. (I'd rather not say which RIP I'm using because I'm still working with the vendor's tech support.) After going through the linearization process, I run an IT8 target with no calibration. There are some areas of...
