Your RIP should have a "passthrough" option to do what you're thinking. However, ideally you should have first set ink limits/reductions, then use the RIP to print the target to get a profile. To use a canned profile you'd have to get the entire print configuration for a particular printer/media combination from the RIP manufacturer. What profile did you use to convert from your AdobeRGB or sRGB working space? I had the same dilemma like you in that I only have an RGB profiling setup, but luckily my RIP has a nice color seperation rule engine that allows me to profile in RGB without any problems. The RIP first separates my RGB target file into CMYK following my setup for ink limits and color separation rules (ie. total ink at black point, primary color ink percentage, black cut off point with corresponding total ink, gray balance sliders, etc.), then send it to the printer. Then plug the new profile into the output section of the RIP's color transform. You must figure out a way to profile via the RIP in RGB mode or upgrade your profiling setup to CMYK. --nick Website: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPDesignJet_Printers Post message: [email protected] Subscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: [EMAIL PROTECTED] List owner: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Yahoo!
