Hi All,
I wonder there is anyone who could help me with colour separation. I have
had a set of cards printed onto "silk" stock by my local printer but the
pics have lost a lot of "life".
To match their proofer a made a CMYK profile from it (the proofer) using
these settings:
Black ink limit –
Total ink limit 20
GCR3 on Profilemaker Pro
Now the colours on their proofer are nice though a little bit yellow.
But when we went to the press we had to keep the density of the ink very
light otherwise the colours would block up and the images would get too dark
too. As a result of this - I suspect - the final printed images are not
contrasty and saturated enough!
Could it be the problem that the 320 total ink limit and the 96 black ink
limit is too high!??? Could it cause that the images get too dark and the
colours blocked up!?
Perhaps 92 for black and 290 for total would be more suitable for the stock
which they call "silk".
I know it's not a lot of information to give when I'm asking for help but
I'm not an expert in printing.
Thank you for any advice on this!
Regards
