- Thread-topic: Correct for a laminate finish
Hi Roger,
Last year I went to the Fogra Color Symposium in Munich and a paper was
presented on the topic of a magenta colour shift after lamination. It was
quite interesting.
The other posts which recommend offering the printer a 'bad proof' to match
the un-laminated colour is the suggested workflow (after profiling same). I
also agree about doing a 'good proof' for interest/reference to show the
after lamination colour.
All the advice on this topic was good.
Best regards,
Dan Wilson
