Hello Josef.
As the Pantone 432C can be accurately printed on the offset press, try to
make the following:
1. Pick Pantone color 432C in GretagMacbeth ColorPicker Pantone Palette (or
better to measure it in Pantone Solid Guide whith spectrophotometer).
2. Set the ICC profile of your press in ColorPicker and you'll get
solid-to-process CMYK values for your press.
3. Put this CMYK values over the built-in solid-to-process values for this
Pantone color in Indesign and print it on Iris whith simulation of your
press.
If you will not get good color then either the press profile incorrect or
Iris calibration&profiling pure.
Best regards,
Alexey Gribunin, UNIT Copier, Moscow, Russia.
