Well Roger, I'm the one who's sorry for asking all these dumb questions! I'm doing a bit more reading up and then I'll have some more dumb questions, I'm afraid! Many thanks for your help, Robert -----Original Message----- From: argyllcms-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:argyllcms-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Roger Breton Sent: 03 July 2014 12:44 To: argyllcms@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [argyllcms] Re: Custom Illuminant You are right, clipping will happen in transforming the most saturated CMYK values to the monitor, depending on the gamut size of the monitor space. Soft proofing the saturated cyans, for example, requires a very large NEC-like or Eizo or HP Dreamweaver-like kind of monitor to accurately view the data without clipping. Thank's. Sorry Robert.
