Hi Everyone,
I have two CMYK+cmk+g printer and would like to generate a ICC profile
for both of them.The cases are very different so let's separate them:
* An Epson 3880 controlled over a RIP software (ICCprint of Cibercat).
There everything seems to be easy: I generate a target with:
argyll-targen -d 10 -f 1170 <Name>
and them a tiff or ps file:
printtarg -i SS -p A3 -a 1.45 -h <Name>
But unfortunately the calibration wizard is not able to print one of
these images. It creates just an empty page. When I open the tiff file
with Photoshop and save it, then it's working. But somehow I don't trust
it anymore. I have the feeling that it's now just an CMYK image for the
RIP software and the other colors are not used.
My questions: I this the right way? How could I check if the printed
test chart uses all the colors?
* An Epson 4880 printing on aluminum controlled over standard Epson
printer driver (Windows): How is a profiling working there at all? How
could I print the test chart? I read about generating an RGB profile for
these printer. Is this the way I should go there? Actually I would
prefer an CMYK profile, that I could control the ink limit.
Thank you,
Kai
