7-Color ICC Profile Creation

[Brad38CMU]

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking for a solution for creating an accurate 7-color ICC profile utilizing IT8 charts as the input. I currently have i1Profiler but need to generate a custom 7/c overprint chart in order to create the ICC. Any suggestions?

I've put plenty of time into Google up to this point and there really isn't much out there for solutions from what I can find.

Question - is your intent to use the profile for images or to simulate spot colors? Or both?

My intent is to supply this ICC profile to other prepress shops to use as the target for creating proofing profiles.

Which begs an answer to a question I have had for a while. What software is used to create input ICC profiles?

i1Profiler can make profiles for up to 8 separations

You will likely find that this breaks the End User License Agreement in 99.9% of commercial profiling packages without getting written clearance and or paying extra for a special use case license.
