Now...I don't know what to do to get a good print of the art on
the watercolor paper. I've done two experiments with gamut-mapped
device link profiles. The first used perceptual intent and the
second absolute colorimetric. The perceptual looks close, but the
contrast is low, it's a bit undersaturated, and the printer still
lays down a lot of ink on the unpainted parts of the page.
Absolute colorimetric pretty much takes care of the contrast and
saturation...but it lays down buckets of ink on the unpainted areas.
There are two approaches to reproduced with a non-white paper color.
Either treat it as relative colorimetric throughout, or as absolute
[. . .]
That matches what I was experimentally discovering. I think I'll have
a chance to do some more this weekend; I'll let you know. Thanks!
Well, the good news is that I just got a test print I could live
with.
The bad news is that it was on the last sheet I had for testing --
but
I can get more paper, so it's not that bad.
Sorry, I've been a bit busy...
No problem. I know busy! Monday'll be the first day back at the day
job after the surgery, but I've been much busier during the recovery
than ``normal,'' what with the physical therapy and all the projects
I've been scrambling like mad to finish while I can.
Cheers,
