It actually is very easy, even I can do it. You just have to get the basics down and the rest is easy. Oh, and having the right tools helps TREMENDOUSLY.

Shhhhhhhh! Don't let the secret out.

Agreed.

It appears to me to be totally different. The sliders/curves window appear to be adjustments applied to the behavior of the overall media profile. The other window where you key in values 0-100% looks like the ink restriction and should be avoided unless you're building a new media profile from...

I'm comfortable dong ink restrictions with the ProfileMaker tools I have. But if VW will allow you read individual measurements, and allow you to choose density as the measurement mode, does it also allow you to choose LCH instead of density? If so, I've got a fool proof method to optimize the...

I'd attack those tone curves to balance the grey. At first don't sweat the colors, just focus on grey. The theory is if you get the grey "balanced" the rest will mostly fall in place. Remember that when you're judging your edits in greys to take the printed test into the lighting condition the...

You're right that it's wrong. ;) Those look to me like the Ink Restrictions. Here is the common process for building a complete media profile (one part of which is the ICC profile). 1. ink restrictions: how much ink goes down for 100% of each individual full color ink. Generally doesn't...

I jumped off the Onyx ship at 10. So your experience is more current than mine.

Nope, missed it. Aw shucks, thanks. Pretty simple 'eh. A blind person should be able to make a great profile. It's not magic, just measurements. Without a spectrophotometer it's magic. My only guess is they are ignorant of restricting based on Chroma (saturation). Like Bly says, current...

It didn't used to be this way, but now I love to see "I just adjust the ink limits in the RIP", "I print color swatch files and work from that", or my favorite "that profiling stuff is for tecno weenies who have too much time on their hands". To those who may doubt the value, please carry on...

+1 You can have obvious, if not big differences in color for different medias using solvent inks. The gamut differences between a matte banner and a high quality media like 3m 180 or Avery 1005 are significant. Direct UV systems not so much. Modern water based ink sets can have absolutely...

I thought I'd posted this earlier. Hope it helps. http://pacificprintworks.com/category/file-preparation-tips/

Go ahead and curve the luff of the jib. But attach the bottom corner to the bow. I'm a life long sailor that's raced on every coast and cruised half way around the world. I personally like the curved sail version that gives the feeling of pressure in the sails. To me the straight edge version...

+1 on the "o" cover. The sails are generally correct but the front sail (jib) is usually a bit bigger than you have it and the aft sail (main) is a bit more narrow and it's base further back for most mainstream boats today. Also, the bottom front corner of the jib should look attached to the...

I can't claim to know the Roland Color Palette System to answer that well. I like to think of getting sell-able color being done one of 2 ways, forwards or backwards. Either you have "proper" color management with custom profiles and a common sense workflow (forward) or you print out charts of...

Aaaaaaand there we have it. The defining moment. No shame in being a simple sign shop that turns away fussy artist types. Trust me, they're not all that much fun to work with most of the time. Personally, I see the real benefits of having tight color in the shop. If I had to invest all over...

Looks like that one just does monitors. Yes it adds the Pantone thing. But that doesn't really provide much real day to day benefit. The core of what you need is the ability (and knowledge) to make a CMYK profile in your RIP. Don't sweat the monitor or fancy spot color tools. You're RIP will...
