Re: [ECI-EN] Offset profiles Device Link

Hi Sandis Thank you very much for your interest in further ECI profiles. At ECI we highly appreciate that our profiles are well accepted. Please allow me the following two fold answer to your question about further device link profiles: Technical perspective: The tricky situation with device link profiles is, that there would be a huge number of meaningful combinations which we could provide. By far too many to create, test and provide free of charge. The decision to provide device link profiles was not to fulfill all possible needs. But to ease the switch to the new printing conditions. With this in mind, we decided to provide device link profiles for the most important printing condition “Coated” only. Business perspective: Creating good profiles requires both: decent expertice and time plus the availability and license to use respective software tools. At ECI we are very happy, that the software firms whose software we use to create ECI profiles allow us to provide the profiles to the public free of charge. As mentioned above, creating good profiles requires both, time and tools and both aspects are the basis for income of experts and software providers. I.o.w.: You may wish to purchase one of the tools available to create the device link profiles you need. All the best Florian Süßl vice chairman of the European Color Initiative (ECI) -- Florian Süßl Goßlerstraße 29 12161 Berlin +49 172 3091154
