Dear Graeme and All, I have been using Argyll for quite a while (thanks
for this wonderful toolset!), even though I do not post here often.
A few months ago, I have purchased a new printer (Epson SC-P700) and I
have created color profiles for all the papers that I use. With this
printer in particular, I find it non trivial to deal with dark areas in
some color prints. I feel like profiles are not describing well enough
the behavior of the printer+paper in these areas, causing halos and
other artifacts in the transitions to black. In many cases, especially
with some matte papers (e.g., Canson Rag Photographique), I cannot see
these artifacts neither in proof mode nor in the image converted to the
paper profile (visualized by assigning the profile to it), but I see
them in the prints.
Therefore, my question is: is there any way to improve the profiles in
specific areas of the colorspace? Ideally, I would like to add a number
of patches specifically aimed at near black colors... Would that make sense?
Actually I am using the full calibration+profiling flow, even though the
SCP-P700 is an sRGB printer and, thus, it is not possible to set ink limits.
Best regards,
Alberto
