How is the print direct from ID done? Epson driver from RGB data, or sending CMYK through raw with no change to a PS device? >A PDF of the > same file prints with the same difference in colour. Is this a proper PDF, as in Distiller produced from a .ps or .eps file - or a native ID save as PDF? > The > difference cannot be > seen on screen. So it seems like the print method. So what are the differences between how the epson and the matchprint are printed? > A Matchprint proof shows no difference at all > and is just as > it should be. How exactly is this matchprint produced - and is it analogue or digital? Do you use your epson prints as gamut limited aim prints? If so what is your workflow? Is it epson driver based for layout/illustration work? Epson driver for photoshop but postscript for layout? I have reservations on any cmyk aimprint involving layout or illustration software that is not going through a postscript RIP of some description (I have mentioned this in the past and can again if required). This is not even mentioning the colour management aspect of press simulation, which is a separate story.
