What is color proof and how "adult" photo printing is performed on a large format Epson printer

Surely the overwhelming majority of readers have at least once printed photos on a color printer. And even faced a situation when the printed photo turned out to be little similar to the original displayed on the monitor.



You may even know how this is "treated": you need to print a special target image, scan it on a good CCD scanner, and then build a profile for a specific set of ink in a specific printer for a specific paper. And then use this profile for further printing. In general, everything is according to the Pareto principle : 20% of the efforts give 80% of the result, which is quite enough for an ordinary user.







Have you ever wondered how the same process is performed by professionals who work on thousands of copies, master layouts for glossy magazines or prepare images for printing on a circulation machine? After all, you cannot “just take” into a drawing machine and load a couple of meters of media and “drive” back and forth to achieve the desired 20% to the ideal result.
