Shadows details are lost
Posted: Mon Feb 12, 2018 1:12 pm
Hello
I made two color profiles with PrintFab driver, one for Hahnemühle Fine Art Baryta and one for Canson Platine Fibre Rag (CPFR)...
But I have got the same problem : the shadows areas of the prints of my photos are completely black, a lot of details are lost.
The test of ink level was OK, even for level 300, which I chose for both papers.
The colors are good in both profiles, except in the shadows areas.
What is going wrong ? Ink level ? How can I judge the ink level to choose ? All levels seem to be OK (I can't see any bleeding)...
CPFR : I tried to print with a reduced ink level (240 ?) (and the same color profil made with ink level 300) and some details came back in the (too darks) shadows, and there was some weird posterisation ???
I made a color profile for CPFR with Epson driver and printed with QImage without problem. But I want to use Printfab which has no image size limit, unlike QImage, which has no 16 bits option and is not a real RIP, AFAIK.
Printfab 1.07
Windows 8.1 64 bits
X-Rite I1 profiler 1.7.1, spectro I1 Pro 2.
Edit : I print with Photoshop, without color management (print profile is profile of document) and ACPU --> same result.
