Digital BW, The Print

Richard,

Building the profiles in IJC with your Eye-One is not difficult, either, as follows:

1. Open IJC and select profile.
2. Click on Linearization button.
3. Print "Target for Linearization".
4. Using your Eye-One spectro, measure the L* values for each patch and enter into each box to the left of the curve (set the vertical slider to 0.)
5. Print "Target with Linearization".
6. At this point, you should have good linearization from step 1 to step 26.
7. Adjust as necessary, and save.

There are other things you can do with your Eye-One like evaluating for color casts, and adjusting, as needed.

See Lou Dina's excellent tutorial in the Files section of this group. It's not hard. And, once you have a neutral curve, building other tone curves for cooler or warmer prints is simplicity itself.

Hope this helps.
