Re: Epson as pre press proofer

["ketron" <aketron@nwoknet.net>]

Watch out CD, people might figure out that they *don't* need dedicated
targets to profile their printer ;-)

While the Kodak target is pricy, most commercial (not quickprint, mom&pop,
kinkos, etc.) printing companies will have a film and/or photo target that
you may be able to talk them into letting you borrow (depends on your
relationship, of course) for a day or so. Take it home, scan it in, and
build your profile around that. With a little judicious 'eyeballing' you can
calibrate with some effectiveness. If you are aiming for proofing with an
epson, this is a better way to go if you generally use the same printer.
Most should be glad to participate; matching as many variables as possible
between your system and theirs will also improve their quality, a win-win
situation ;-)
