I recently decided to out source my printing to a local print/frame shop. He has a large format Epson printer and is running CS3. I am using CS2. I had an introductory discussion with him to nail down any variables. He asked that I give him a white and a black point among other things. I gave him a print, to check out our compatiblilities, for him to print. On that image, I gave him cross hair markers at my white, blk, and midtone points. When he clicked his sample eyedropper on the white and midtone points, that I gave him, there was an obvious shift in tones. So in that starts many questions.
I established my white and blk points by using threshold. Does threshold reference the Color of white and blk or does it reference the density of said? Should I be establishing these points in another manner? Why did we get a shift? By establishing my wht/blk at the start of my workflow, then maybe making saturation changes, or color balance changes; does this compromise those points?
My thoughts,which seem to be in agreement with his are; with a common wht/blk/mid, the dynamic range of the original image should maintain throughout the workflow.
Any help that you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
