why use dot gain compensation curves or harmny curves when the colour management of files supplied use ISO profiles which have a TVI compensation build into the profile?
example, for newsprint all files supplied are using the ISOnewsprint26v4 profile, but the resident expert in our company will also run dot gain test on our press, now what doesnt make sense to me is that these files are not created using the ISOnewsprint26v4 profile so in theory are we compensating once to many times for dot gain, by way of embedded profile and by way of dot gain compensation when the plates are imaged (CTP) my question essentiall is can we image the plates linear when creating PDF file using an ISO profile?
