Title: Wolf Faust R1 vs RF target? Post by: crenedecotret on January 25, 2013, 01:28:54 AM Hi, my target unfortunately was misplaced. "Lucky me" it was a couple of years old, so I ordered two new ones from Wolf Faust (Prism uses the Wolf Faust R1 targets). I could of ordered from Mike, but that was 25$ and 30$ gave me two targets from WF.
The first target I ordered is the R1, printed on Kodak paper. This is the same type that is supplied with Profile Prism. The second type RF has the same size and layout but printed to Fuji paper. I figured I would try both to see if there were any differences. Maybe some papers will profile better with the RF target, depending on how my scanner reacts to it. Who knows? :) Has anyone else ever tried these out of curiosity, like me? Charles Title: Re: Wolf Faust R1 vs RF target?

Profile Prism has been using IT-8 (sort of a celluloid acetate) target for many years. Probably more than 5 years for sure. Mike stopped using the cardboard Kodak type for a number of reasons, including fading, and not holding up physically. I know for sure, you should be using the IT-8 target, but maybe the old Kodak will work, I just do not know if Profile Prism is calibrated to for the Kodak any more. We will have to ask Mike. I just looked it up.... IT-8s were shipped with PP starting in 2003.... Fred Title: Re: Wolf Faust R1 vs RF target? Post by: Terry-M on January 25, 2013, 11:24:51 AM Fred, Charles

I decided to stick with the Kodak version as they were a little cheaper (but very good price from WF) but I don't see any reason why the Fuji version could not be used providing its calibration data is loaded into PP.

Post by: rayw on January 25, 2013, 10:15:39 PM My version of pp (purchased August 2005) has a an IT.87.2-1993 target -printed on Kodak Professional Paper - made by Wolf Faust (www.coloraid.de) .I've not used it much recently, and it lives in the original packaging, in the dark, and still looks fine to me - although appearances can be deceptive ;)
