I9ve been creating a folder in Indesign 2.0.1 were the background is build
up with two different Pantone spot colors.
All pictures were separated in Photoshop 6 with the profile the printing
office gave me.
This profile was also tagged to the Indesign document.
I printed the document on a Iris 2Print. The Iris is running in the graphics
linear mode - linearised and profiled. In the IQ-Pro (v 4.0.1) dialog window
for ICC the Iris Profile and the Offset-Printer profile (relative rendering)
are set up (this is the way to set up a Print simulation in IQ-Pro).
Everything looked very good and corresponded exactly to the following Offset
print - except the pantone colors. On the Iris proof they came out much to
bright. One of the pantone colors was 432 C.
So I tried different methods for the spot colors.
Once I set the Pantone color up as spot color.
Once I set the color up as 23/3/0/77 specified in the solid to process
folder.
Once I measured the color on the Pantone folder with my Spectrolino with the
Offset printer Profile and got a reading of 79/67/45/48.
They all looked almost the same on the Iris print - to bright.
So is there anybody who can tell me why the printer simulation with pictures
works correct but not with spot colors?
