Thoughts on profileing

[Jon Zax <lotus@ionix.net>]

<x-flowed>If your like me, you have to make profiles for a few different ink sets, 
on several
different papers.
When looking at the big picture, have you ever noticed that sometimes 
you just hit it
and the prints come through the profile, on to the paper just great.
And other times you just can't get it to work ?
Especially if your using a scanner based software.

It was a little slow today as it always is just before Labor Day, so I 
took a little extra time on this
job that had portraits of attractive young people in it.

The job was to be printed on a gloss paper, and I had been having a hard 
time matching up
with a decent skin tone on this paper.

So I thought, gee I get a great skin tone on this other paper with it's 
profile why can't I do it here.

I then printed through the other papers profile and low an behold, I got 
a good skin tone on the
difficult glossy paper too.

Maybe this is a freak thing, but it kind of makes sense. If you get a 
good profile that excels at
a specific thing, it may just work better to try and accomplish said 
task with that profile
regardless of the actual paper being printed on. A little tweak here a 
little tweak there, it's
still better than beating one's head against the wall.

Please, someone else try this.
