Lately I have been working on an Indigo 5000; trying to make it a reliable
proofing machine. So far so good; especially when proofing to GRACoL
specs. It should be mentioned that we are also using a Creo Production
Flow RIP. Now that I have my sheetfed coated process where I want it; I'm
now looking to match an uncoated sheetfed press sheet. If I use the US
Sheetfed Uncoated profile and my Indigo profile I find that the resulting
proof is very muddy, dirty, etc. etc. Looking at the US Sheetfed Uncoated
profile I see that the CMYK colorants are somewhat muddy - is that where
my issue is? Maybe I need to create a profile that is not so muddy in the
first place. I know from doing press checks that an uncoated sheet will
print with dot gains ranging about 3 - 5 percent higher than a coated
sheet; but I really cannot see the inks being as contaminated as they
appear in the canned US Sheetfed Uncoated profile. I do, however, want to
stay within "Industry Standards". Any help would be appreciated. Mike
