Few people on the list ever speak of taking measurements off printed
polyethelene (such as in bread bags) in developping ICC output profiles.
I am debating whether I should make those measurements with
having placed some piece of white cardboard underneath the target...
or simply leave on the dark
black metallic materiel of the Spectroscan the table...
It sounds like you're doing product packaging. How about placing the
product behind the poly? That will give you the best match to the
final look.
If the poly is thin enough to be translucent, I don't see how you can
get any meaningful results without somehow simulating the backing
that will eventually be in use. Not only is the reflectance going to
be wrong, but the color will probably be, also.
