Lily,
I myself have recently done significant work preparing profiles for
laminated printed material. We produce primarily books, so the covers or
jackets are usually laminated. Gloss lamination does not present as much of
a problem as does matte laminated covers. But it does greatly improve the
results for either lamination. I used MonacoProfiler with Xrite DTP70
Autoscan SpectroPhotometer. I've been working on this for several weeks now.
After building the profiles, we went back and press proofed several sample
test images or actual products. You will find that you can get spot on to
most colors. But there are some colors that you just can't nail. We are now
in the process of keeping careful records of which CMYK color combinations
give us the most trouble and hope to come up with a range of colors that we
will advise our clients and designers against using. For example, a nice
rich burgundy will turn towards brown after matte lamination. All the other
colors will look great, except this color. So after making your profile,
keep a close eye on the results for awhile. For the most part, it will
GREATLY improve your reproduction, but there will be some colors that just
won't come, no matter what you do to the profile. If you try to "edit" or
tweak the profile, you end up screwing up other colors that were okay.
Good luck,
Bob Rock

Hi everyone,
We are confronted with a significant drop of brightner when we laminate our
paper. The colour that we proofed become darker and more with a red tint
inside. Of course the paper is yellower too. Is there a way to measure this
colour shift?
Thank you
Lily
