Hello
I'm working as free lance in France, i've got a scitex scan and an
Epson 4800 with a best Designer for printer.
I work as long as possible in RGB and i convert at the end in CMYK,
i used euroscale coated and changed for isocoated ECI 2 years ago
and it seemed to be better.
But today i've heard that the isocoated and new isocoated V2 wasn't
a good profil for converted my RGB imaged (working space eci RGB
V2) in CMYK ? and that it's just a profil of "simulation" for the
printer !
Is it true ? and should i use a profil like the new isocoated
frogra39 for the coated paper i use generaly.
I've made a lot of test and print a lot of book without any problem
with a lot of printer, i was estonished.
Can you help me ?
sinceraly, bruno
Hello bruno,
keep the images in RGB and let the best Designer do the CMYK
conversion for you. It will use the specific Epson ICC profile for
output--and it will simulate the offset press output i.e. with "ISO
Coated v2 (ECI)", containing the FOGRA39 data, if you wish so and if
you have designed such a workflow on the RIP. Your employer may
consider to update to the current release ("efi", not "best").
