IN GENERAL REG THIS STUFF
The base of what I am talking about is of course a
serious ICC-
profiling software. In my case the profilegenerator is
built-in to
the software.
I have tried a few different programs that claim to
"save ink" and/
or convert for example colour standards to press.
Some work some don't. One saved 3% CMY (very
useful, LOL). Most of
them "save ink" but some create new colours:
of course you can save
ink if you make a blue sky gray... :-)) How much to
you save if you
print BW? LOL!
I tried one (I keep to the subject and I avoid to
mention names of
software as you have noticed), that do a good job from
for example
F39 to F39 but if you alter the setting to F39 to
press: crap. For
me that is not very serious. The user can then not
adapt the job to
the press but only "save ink". I guess the
problem is that the
manufacturer know how to convert but have no knowledge
about colour
and printing. They probably made the factory settings
with a
serious profiling software from another manufacturer
but give no
tools to the user to make their own.
Conclusion reg this: if a software manufacturer
can't even make a
decent ICC-profile, conventional or device link, how
can they then
make a device link based software that is supposed to
convert
colour and "save ink"? ;-)
In other words: when the poorest manufactures of
ICC-profiling
softwares make "save ink", "optimal
ink" etc solutions: think twice
before you purchase.
Personally I do not talk about "save ink"
but about optimal values
for all colours, and no acceptance of colour
deviations accept for
1 level in L, + being able to match the colour to the
press.
I just presented this at a university where I have
supervised a
master student in the subject. I can send the essay
from this
engineer for them who wants it, on a personal level
(email me).
Cheers
A Seb
