Re: filmscanners: Why not sRGB ?



Laurie,

Are you sure about that?

I don't know, but I suspect that the 4-color general/business application
inkjets also print colors outside of the sRGB color space, primarily
because, in general, some ink colors are outside of the colors visible on
the monitor just as some colors visible on the monitor are not printable
using normal printing processes, i.e. inkjets.

| shAf,
| What the original poster fails to take into account and you failed to
point
| out is that not all Epson inkjet printer are the same just as not all HP
| inkjets are the same.  Some are 4 color general/business application
| printers while others are photo application printers (4 or 6 color).  They
| do not all have the same color gamut.  The lower end general /business
color
| printers probably do not need a larger gamut than sRBG; whereas the higher
| end photo printers may produce much higher quality outputs with the larger
| color gamut.  Obviously one can print on any color inkjet with the
narrower
| sRBG gamut; and in that sense it is suitable for all inkjets; however that
| does not make it optimum for all inkjets. :-)

|     If you have absolutely no need for a color space with a larger gamut
| than sRGB, then you may as well be using it ... archive to target.  But I
| believe you're wrong about sRGB being the suitable color space for Epson
| printers, and sRGB certainly does not contain some colors available to
print
| with Epsons ... even AdobeRGB doesn't.
|
|     You are correct in saying there is a "potential" for messing up your
| print with color space conversions, but it isn't necessarily the case ...
| you simply need to know what you are doing within a chosen workflow.  (...
| granted, it sometimes isn't so simple ...)
