Hi all,
We have recently installed ApogeeX 4.0 and we've set it up to use standard ISO profiles. Wanted to try a standard before going through press profiling, etc. Did press tests yesterday and the proofs produced through ApogeeX on our Epson 7800 match the printed sheet perfectly! We were blown away with the accuracy from a standard profile, thinking we would have had to run IT8 targets on press and work back from there. Anyway, the boss is extremely happy with the result (thats the main thing) so we are going to continue to use the ISO standards.
Now my question, does this mean I should also use these same profiles in Creative Suite to achieve close representation on-screen of the final printed product?? My monitor is not calibrated in anyway so I understand its still not going to be accurate, but if I did calibrate it would this be the correct way to setup these front end applications to simulate our press output??
Sorry for my general lack of knowledge when it comes to colour management... its just one of those areas where everyone seems to have a different opinion!
Cheers, Tony
