Epson r2880 as proofer
Posted: Sun Dec 23, 2012 6:53 pm
Hello,
i'm going to make some tests with Epson r2880 and PrintFab driver soon. My goal is to get proof that can be FOGRA39 certified. I choosed Epson Standard Proofing Paper that is FOGRA certified and has perfect substrate reads (95, 0, -2). If this test will sucseed the next step will be simulation of FOGRA28 and some other print profiles on the same paper. I use i1Publish Pro and i can make my own profiles.
I have some questions:
1. Creating profile (i1 Profiler) of my printer shoud I make RGB or CMYK profile rather?
2. How many patches will be enough for high quality profile?
3. When printing test chart should I use standard windows printer driver or PrintFab driver with intent: no correction?
4. What kind of paper shoud i choose when creating new printer profile in PrintFab driver? There are no such a Proofing Paper there.
5. Color adaptation: Reference Light is default set to D65, while i1 Profiler and ather software use D50 as default. What setting is better?
And one general question:
Does PrintFab drives real CMYK inks or all data is being converted thru L*a*b* space? This is important for overprints simulation.
Regards
