I wish there were an answer... You need to make choice between shining
light through it and bouncing light off it. The former may seem to
correspond to the ultimate real-life viewing conditions, but
spectrophotometers with transmissive capability and profiling software
feel comfortable with clear film - the milky white stuff sends them into fits.
In practice, it will depend a little on the individual material (some
look virtually the same with the lights on and off, others vary
enormously), which side you print on, etc. I generally get better
results when profiling as reflective media on the side the ink is on,
and editing a little as necessary, but this is partly because we
consciously choose materials that look good with the backlights off.
If anybody has a more sophisticated approach that works, I shall gladly
adopt it.
