I did a printer profilling vhit V110, see below. When using Perseptual rending the black and dark grey, below aprox RGB10,10,10 turned into a nice blue color, mostly like a "shadow warning" If Relativ or Absolut rending this dont happend, now it is darkgrey-black.
Hi, the measurement values for the device seem rather strange. For instance: SAMPLE_ID CMYK_C CMYK_M CMYK_Y CMYK_K XYZ_X XYZ_Y XYZ_Z 515 100.00 100.00 100.00 0.0000 -1.0366 -1.5231e-006 -0.23692 A Y value of 0.0 would be highly unusual, a value less than 0.0 is truly miraculous ! Since you seem to be using scanin, I'm presuming you are using a calibrated scanner as a substitute for an instrument. I would guess that the test chart is exceeding the range over which the scanner is profiled (ie. the scanner reference chart has insufficient dynamic range), and that the resulting extrapolation is resulting in unrealistic values near black. (I'd need the necessary files for the scanin step to check exactly what's happening though.) (Perhaps you're using a matrix profile for the scanner where a cLUT profile would give better accuracy ?) If this is what's going on, It's no surprise that the profile behavior near black isn't very accurate. Graeme Gill.
