>>Some people in the biz started to alter values for TIC, often based on test-strips with CMYK, from 400% and down: visual checks etc.

>>Now:
>>For several years we have had the technology to actually calculate the best possible TIC in a scientifical manner but still many colour gurus use the "good old default" values. For example: 300 to 350 for coated, 260 to 319 (ECI) for uncoated and 220 to 240 for newsprint.

>>Why do we not calculate the TIC's scientifically? Today we have the tools, I have the tools and we use them.

>>One example: for coated offset printed within ISO standards we base a neutral black on around 340-350% and we reach L=10.
>>>From that we allow the calculation to deviate delta 1 in L, not in a or b. A engineer that I work with called this method JND, Just Noticeable Difference.
>>This way we reach a TIC in neutral black that is 233% (two hundred and thirty three)! In other words: we print neutral black with L=11 with 233%.
>>Note: This technology do not set the TIC limit to 233 for all colours, it is indvidual. A dark red can for example end up 244%. Normal ICC-profiles are in other words a compromise: the TIC will limit all colours to one top value for TIC.
>>One more example: for newsprint we have reached a TIC, for neutral black, around 180% with a better L-value then ISOnewspaper26v4 - but a dark red can in the same print reach 209%.
>>And so on.
>>
>>So, good bye to "opinions", "gray hair" and "experience" or what is your opinion and experience regarding TIC?

Subject: [ECI-EN] Outputting FOGRA 27 files on a FOGRA 39 press
To:
Message-ID:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"


Hi
This is my first post, I found the lists hard to search, so forgive me if
this has been answered elsewhere..

We have a print policy based on ISO 12647:2004 FOGRA 27 standard.
However, one of our main print suppliers has moved to FOGRA 39 press
conditions and is understandably struggling to output matching our FOGRA 27
proofs.
What suggestions do you have of converting our FOGRA 27 PDF/X-1a files to
their FOGRA 39 press conditions. This is something that we would want them
to do.

Thanks

Hi A Seb,

About devicelink profile for ink saving and ink coverage reduction,
if you want to send file to test the new PerfX Device Link Pro?
software, just let me know.

I am also interested about the essay.

Hello everyone,

Can you tell us which software you use or you try?

I'm running actually with a workflow who integrates device link profile.
And it work very well.
