conformance to ISO Coated v2
Posted: Mon Aug 08, 2011 7:55 pm
hy, i am trying to calibrate my Canon PIXMA Pro 9000 to correctly reproduce cmyk content in conformance with ISO Coated v2 (FOGRA39L). My work OS is Mac OS X Lion & my calibration software is Profilemaker 5.0.10 (on a different computer). PrintFab version is 2.21.
I use EFI Gravure Proof Paper 4245 Semimatt (FOGRA Certified). The result it's dark & over saturated, but the color & gray balance is correct. I will try to describe the whole workflow and i hope you can give me some pointers to achieve a correct profile using PrintFab.
1. In PrintFab Toolbox i use Glossy Paper & High 2400dpi. The paper holds very well at 300 ink density so i leave that to 300.
2. I print my ECI CMYK charts from:
4. I load the fresh ICC in PrintFab
5. I test the profile using in PrintFab Relative Colorimetric, CMYK Proof, D50 reference Light & ISO Coated v2 as color space. In Indesign of course CMYK Output with ISO Coated v2.
As i've already said the print are too dark and way over saturated (the reds are eating my retina).

2. I print my ECI CMYK charts from:
- Indesign CS 5.5 with Composite CMYK Output, Let Postscript Printer Determine Colours, Preserve CMYK Numbers
Color Matching In Printer
I select the empty profile in PrinFab, and choose CMYK Proof
