Title: IT-8 Target 1&2 Post by: CHoffman on May 31, 2021, 02:39:59 PM 1) My Red River factory profile produces a wider gamut in the green than my Profile Prism efforts. My target has been stored well, but is 15 years old! I have a pretty good T/R densitometer (Xrite 811, I think). Can I measure my target and compare the results to the matching text file to determine if it's faded? What's the organization of the file? Can I create a new one myself?
2) I've seen some PR stuff on targets with wider range. Would something like that deliver a better profile? (If I could afford it!) My scanner is an Epson 4490 Photo. I think it's decent, but could it be causing a lack of gamut in the green? Maybe I have problems with other colors, but right now I'm fixated on green. FWIW, I like the results of my Profile Prism profiles better than factory in every area except for the green limitation.

Those can cause metamerism since the light source is not full spectrum. Scanners with LED light sources produce a more consistent result.

Thanks! |
