What best RGB setting for profilemaker

[lephot]

Well I was wondering what setting you were using to build RGB profiles in profilemaker ?
Perceptual rendering and viewing light source are probably the points I wonder most .. but any suggestion is welcome !

Thanks for your help.

This is what I use.

Profile size = Large
Perceptual Rendering intent = Neutral gray
Gamut Mapping = Logo Colorful
Viewing Light Source = D50

+1 for rfulford's settings

OK thanks to you.
Well I was using for the perceptual rendering the gray color paper. Any idea what difference it makes with the neutral gray ?
for the light source I was also using D50 !
Thanks again !

I'm just curious. When you say RGB profiles, are you profiling a large-format printer driven from a RIP, or a small-format driver-based device like a desktop inkjet or laser printer?

This is an important question. I was wondering the same thing.

Neutral grey strives for just what it says. Paper grey allows the color of the substrate (paper) to affect the greys.

Hi,
No, this is just for profiling rvb prints direct from photoshop on a small canon IPF 6100.

Presuming the illuminant used to build the profile and the viewing source is at the same illuminant.

If it is not you will see a colour cast in your grays.

Fine Art Papers

Hi there,
Thanks again for your inputs..

I however have another "silly" question ... do you make any difference in creating an RvB profile for a white photo paper or for a warm tone Fine Art paper like Hahnemühle or Premier Art papers ?
the white point is much warmer with the Fine art Paper .. So I just wonder ?

If you think that a neutral gray shifts appearance of the grey scale around the 1/4 tones, I would say yes. This will usually be the case with any paper with a noticeable color cast.

Consider paying closer attention to your GCR and UCR generation. That's the key regardless of what media you use.

SJM,

As far as I know there is no GCR or UCR in RVB profiling ?
Am I wrong ?

True, there is no black generation in an RGB profile. It is about as simple as it gets.

Yes, you would likely need an unique profile for the artsy papers since they have very unique results for density and white point.
