I’m try to create a master test image in PS 6 in CMYK color control such that I can then print out those test images and use them to further adjust the custom settings in my Canon i560 printer. I need to do this because all of the Color test charts that I have found on the internet and printed on my printer come out with some colors wrong. This approach basically shuts down any usage if ICM. I’m not trying to match colors that appear on my monitor, even though I have the gamma and the color balance set rather good. What I need to do is make sure that my printer is producing as good as possible a color match to the basic Cyan, Magenta, Yellow colors.
I believe what I need is a pre-printed color chart that has Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow on it. Then I can use PS to print color bars that are pure Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and also mixtures that will produce true RGB colors. I can then run as many test prints as I need to get the CMYK to match the control sample.
I have tried this by printing test charts like the one Tiff image provided at www.digitaldog.net
but it is very difficult to understand the individual reaction of CMYK to each color. Colors are not as bad as Grayscale which also interacts with any change in CMYK.
In theroy you should be albe to adjust any given set of ink jet printer nozzles, with a given combination of ink and paper, such that if adjusted correctly, equal quanities of C, M, & Y, will produce "Black". Also, equal amounts of Cyan and Magenta will produce "Blue", and so on for Green, and Red. This is what I’m trying to do.
Hope someone has some ideas. Thanks
