Usage Details and Discussion

kodak2CGATS takes the Kodak Colorflow CMYK printer spectrometer data and reference files, and turns them into Argyll .ti3 CGATS files.
As well as the specified .pat file, kodak2cgats expects to read a file called CMYK_LargeTarget_928 in the current directory, which is the file containing the device reference data for the standard Kodak CMYK test chart.
The Argyll .ti3 format usually contains an ink limit or TAC (Total Area Coverage) limit value, used to specify the gamut limits during profile creation. the -l flag allows this to be specified, and included in the created .ti3 file.
