I myself have recently done significant work preparing profiles for laminated printed material.
I've been color managing a number of highly eccentric (and highly challenging) printing process for almost a decade. I have got clients that print onto wood, glass, metal, silk, one that prints with his own blood and one that actually laminates inkjet prints with melamine (think digitally imaged Formica). Measuring and profiling the final, laminated product is essential. 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. ... For example, a nice rich burgundy will turn towards brown after matte lamination. All the other colors will look great, except this color.
If you measure and profile the final laminated product wouldn't your proofs simulate that brown color? Less than optimal separation parameters could effect those darker colors as well but you should still see the results on the proofs.
