Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
Interesting print philosophy Danny, we do the same.
It's an art form and THAT can be the dilemma depending on the type of art your shops handles.When you are a custom shop that does not create most of your own art or if you send out a lot of your art and seps, to freelancers, then having your output more "streamlined" or consistent internally is appropriate. If you are a shop that controls all of your art creation and your seps, then the art form can work very well for you since you kinda already know what you need in your seps (as you build art and seps).
Let's say that we kept it simple ...but didn't. You assume way too much. Try to just post interesting things. You have a lot of good to offer...somewhere deep inside your post, so just leave direct comments towards individuals out of it.
I've learned there are 3 main steps to this process:Output an uncalibrated/raw target to your device, read it, enter values to allow RIP to adjust and generate a calibrated target.Once calibrated/truly linearized above, use Tone Curves to apply a boost or a cut to various % areas as needed for your process.If desired, and if your substrate(s) and presses allow for this, use intended and actual press values to further adjust for your process.[/l][/l]
