Black Point Compensation

2008-08-08 by canvaspic

Hi all

I have been generating profiles with spyder3print for use with canvas
on a Epson 9880. 

When using a rendering intent of "perceptual", I get clipped shadows
on the monitor ( CS3 soft proof) and on the print. This manifests
itself as jet black patches/blotches in the darkest areas of the print.

When I use a rendering intent of "relative colorimetric" and "Black
point Compensation" is switched on, I don't have the clipping problem.

Q: is there something that needs to be done while profiling to set the
printer black point for "perceptual" rendering intent.


Thanks ...ed.
