- Myth #12: CMYKLcLm printers are 6 color.
- Myth #16: Two 5000K bulbs will match.
- Myth #17: D50 bulbs are available.
- Myth #23: Photoshop's color setting dialog lets you edit an ICC CMYK profile.
- Myth #24: Working space selection in Photoshop affects profile building.
- Myth #25: Device link profiles are limited, hard-coded versions of normal ICC transforms and are therefore redundant, inflexible and are to be avoided.
- Myth #26: Graphing profiles to see their gamut gives pretty much the same results in the different tools that are available.
- Myth #27: Why would anyone ever want to choose a working space that is larger than you can print?
- Myth #28: The PowerBook G4 displays 16.7 million colors (or any display, for that matter).
- Myth #29: The more patches on the printer target, the better the resulting profile.
- Myth #30: If your RIP doesn't allow total ink limiting, just limit each channel.
- Myth #31: When setting up a RIP for proofing, you should match density and dot gain of the inkjet to the press.
- Myth #32: Relative Colorimetric intent means no color shift.
