Hi list

I just saw this on the AoP site:


TEST YOUR DIGITAL WORKFLOW!

On pages 14-15 of the July issue of IMAGE we have printed a file that you can now download and view on your systems.

IMPORTANT! When opening the files in Photoshop please select the option �Use Embedded Profile� (Instead of working space), otherwise this exercise will not work properly.

The file Image_test_print.jpg (1MB) should appear on your monitor as it appears in the magazine. Obviously you should consider the lighting conditions under which you are viewing the magazine when you compare the two!

To add even more interest, you can also download the file Image_test_int.jpg (1MB) which was the actual file sent off to the printer with their definitions embedded. If you view this file (and assuming you been able to see that your monitor isn�t lying to you in the first stage above) you�ll see that the press wandered off considerably from what it was supposed to output and produced a far more saturated result.

What am I missing here? If the press wandered off (consistently - or is everyone's copy different?) then surely the file won't appear on your monitor like it does in the magazine. Or am I being dense?
