</div>While you can certainly do it this way, I think it's an approach that<br>
has problems, because no profile creation software is equipped to take<br>
on a raw device that may have severely low ink limits and very<br>
high dot gain, as is typical of inkjets when running at high<br>
resolution with lots of dot overlap. Some form of linearisation<br>
and per channel ink limiting is needed before a profiler can<br>
do a reasonable job. While such calibration can be incorporated<br>
in a profile, this is not common.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Graeme,</div><div><br></div><div> You very correctly stress the need to expose a linearized device, _and_ we are fully aware of that. </div><div><br>
</div><div> My remark was based on the fact that experimentation indicates that the new "Profilable" Gutenprint ink settings for various media may need to be different from the "legacy" ink settings which are now employed by a large user base. In other words, one should not assume that the legacy inking settings will form the base for future *production* profiled systems when external color management is employed. </div>
