If you’re a colour management expert.. Then don’t read any further..
I have been reading here over the past many months on how colour management and profiling work and its tendency to completely come to different conclusions with all the different Profilers used..
As soon as one member gets to a satisfactory conclusion with their colour photo output, yet another comes up with a different set of figures that brings these set of rules to an otherwise different conclusion.. Quick…Back to the Profiler !
We’ve had lots of threads and hundreds of posts of this very subject and it seems to be endless for the users to get to a place where they are completely satisfied with their own output.
So the questions are, is there life after using a colour profiling of any sort, or would it be better to just go with the flow and accept the built-in colour management that comes with their particular inkjet printer.
If the set of profiles that come with these printers is no good, (Of no value) then why do these same printers sell so easily to all us many happy users, if you change a colour or paper in your setup, then you end up down on the farm..
A little story… The farmer goes to mart with his livestock to sell, which he usually does, and comes home with all his new purchases, and after his trip he ends up with much the same farm animals he started out with.. Now that’s colour management..
A&OE..
