Why CorelDRAW still haven't tool for showing excess of TIL, like in InDesign?
p.s. and still no life separation preview in document :(
Sancho said:It's elementary, Watson
Ok the default CM CMYK setting for all Adobe and CorelDRAW products is a tic 298. If this is sent to the plate setter and processed across the media linearization dot gain curve as is there will be no noticable change on paper.
Sancho said:For me InDesign is really fast way to find problems in these files
There is no problem to find that won't be handled by the CM system, process them without touching them and you'll see.
Sancho said:a print lab will be print my file as is.
Are you talking a photo LAB?
If not that statement is not true, all color numbers will be processed against the media profile for ink jet or digital print engine or the media linearization dot gain curve of the plate setter. You cannot avoid this.
Sancho said:This is not a big terrible problem
Agreed, just a waste of programing time. The entire application controlled TIC process is a discussion that was is Windows 3.1, no color managed system requires it beyond the use of ICC profiles.
Sancho said:I tell it because people often ask about it on my and other forum about DRAW.
Then what these peopl need is an understanding of how postscript and ICC controlled color management works. When they do they'll stop askin gthis question.
I told about print houses.
I had a chat with one man from a print house where we print a newspaper now. They tell "We print files as is. If you have til 300, so we print it as 300." as I said...
Sure he said that because that's what he dumps into the RIP and the RIP processes it to the curve. He most likely has no idea of the technology behind the scenes. ALL presses must process to a dot gain curve.
It doesn't surprise me that he didn't know most print technicians make me ashamed of my profession.
Ha ha... maybe you right or maybe not. Who knows...
Believe me people don't pay me to do what I do becaue I guess, Kodak and heidelberg gettesty when their device fail.
Use a profile with a TIC that is = to or Less Than the TIC of the press linearization dot gain curve and you're good to go.
Now with that said pick one that converts they way you like, by that I mean the grayscale transition, (under color removel and gray component replacement) aspects. You can use a US Kodak such as I use anywhere in the world. This is because all presses use postscript color management to the plate curve, it's cool as hell and it really really works.
Now if you can find apress or pre-press technician that understand anyhting I just wrote you're a better man then I am.
