I know how it works, but I don't like the results, because for
instance when you have a logo from a firm with the color c100m100 this
results in C97m94y6 I don't like the yellow to appear.
How do I deal with this problem?
Two questions:
1. Does the converted color on the proofer match the original color on
the source (press?).
2. Are you proofing with a half-tone dot proofer?
If the answer is yes, and no then my optional 3rd question is, why does
it matter? If the color is being simulated correctly, and the proofer
uses FM screening, I don't see how 6% yellow is a problem.
But let's say it is a half-tone dot proofer, how do you deal with this?
You need a DeviceLink profile. Right now the only product that comes
close (bug no cigar on this issue) is Art Link-o-lator. At this point
it only preserves single channel at 100% (so 100% cyan and nothing else
will be 100% cyan on the destination). To get 100C100M to be preserved
is something they are supposedly looking at for version 2.0. But you
could do this with Kodak Custom Color ICC for Photoshop which edits
device-link profiles, and you can force it into preserving 100C, 100M
as 100C, 100M (and other colors as well if you want). I'm not aware of
another profile editor that allows the editing of DeviceLinks - anyone?
