Re: Newbie needing complex ICC (I think)

2008-04-03 by dlruckus

Hi Wolfe. I'm not sure of exactly what you are saying but the icc
would be a form of linearizing the output. If that is truly Not what
you want then you will need to construct curves for each ink
independently and then test the aggregate. I think Paul Roark and
others are making such curves for various ink sets with the end goal
of linear output so it might be possible to do so for your application
but, unless your intent actually Is to end up with appropriately
linearized density values from 0-255, it would be a negation of what
QTR was designed for I suspect. I do believe it would be possible,
however.
 Perhaps Paul and Roy could give you more assistance in your efforts.

Regards
Duane
