Nikolay,
this is a lot of new stuff for me. Considering myself as someone how makes
his first steps in the jungle of profile creation. Nevertheless I'm ready to
learn. If I understand you right, you are talking about the per channel
limits scaled by the RIP for the linearization. I have to see the printer's
behavior and would like to contact you again in this case I'm not sure if
I really understood your example for the yellow channel... The risk of
damaging the printer by total ink limit override could be real, because the
printer is an old one (HP DesignJet 10 ps). Will take a while before I find
the time to print out and measure targets.
Thank you
Michael
