Printer Profile

[Dasha]

Hi Damien, probably a silly question but whats going on with my colours when i soft proof? I understand there are out of printers gamut colours and blah blah but this looks like there extra colours coming up when i CmdY to printers profile? Its in sRGB  Thanks!

I'm not sure I understand your question? The orange carrots, in particular, look duller in the bottom photo when soft proofing is turned on. Is that what you mean?

[Damien Symonds]

This looks quite normal.

May I see a screenshot of your Proof Setup dialog?

I was talking about the yellow mainly, on the eggs. It's had deeper yellow come through, kinda looks more 3D. 2Secs Damien

Is Perceptual specifically what they advise?

[Dasha]

I  just went to double check and they say this: 

To soft proof:

• View > Proof Setup > Custom...
• Device to Simulate: Your downloaded Loxley profile
• Rendering Intent: Relative Colorimetric
• Black Point Compensation should be checked
• Display Options (On-Screen): Simulate Paper Color should be checked (Simulate Black Ink will then automatically check)
• Click OK

However on the accompanying pictures they got perceptual highlighted, that must be why i went for that

[Damien Symonds]

Ok, definitely DON'T turn on Simulate Paper Color.  They only say that for uncalibrated people who have their screens way too bright.

Ok, if Perceptual seems to be what they use, that's fine.

ok thanks! I have the bottom 2 turned off per your advice awhile back, ts just the difference seemed quite drastic in this case, i was wondering if something went wrong somewhere i

I have no reason to think the profile is wrong.  But you won't know for sure until you get the photo printed.
