Hello,
I have a question for you about ICC profiles and white point. Looking at official ICC profiles from paper and printer manufacturers, I have noticed that their gamut volumes are very similar among gloss/luster/baryta papers and among fine-art/matte papers. So, I was thinking to limit custom ICC profiles to two profiles only (to avoid spending too much time and wasting papers). Even if gamut volumes are very similar, there are discrepencies in white point inside the ICC profiles. So my question: How would colors be affected if I use the profile of a cold paper when printing on a warm one (and vice-versa, of course)? too cold? too warm? no visible effect?
Thanks,
Pierre
