Using SpyderrPrint v 3.5b9 I created a profile of Museo Portfolio Rag printed on my Epson 3800 using the high quality target plus gray. After tweaking the shadow detail slider to open up the shadows in the print plus adjusting the reference black to improve the soft proofing in Photoshop, I am happy with the print quality the new profile provides. Soft proofing in Photoshop looks good except that the soft proof clips the highlights. The actual print has nice highlight gradation, but the soft proof clips a couple of steps off the scale. In the soft proof, step 250 is the last step to show separation from pure white. On the print, step 252 is the last step to show separation from pure white, so the soft proof clips a couple of steps. I am not sure how to correct the soft proof so that it shows the the actual print's fuller highlight detail. Any suggestions on how to tweak the soft proof highlight detail? I am using the Printer Evaluation Image available at outbackprint.com.
