There is no need to convert to an unlaminated profile. You should only need
to convert to the larger of the two which would be the laminated profile and
then let the proofer (ORIS, GMG, ect.) do the conversion down to an
unlaminated profile.
If you have done the G7 calibration correctly on press and factored in the
lamination to the calibration then there should be no need to do two
conversions (GRACoL C1 and then "laminated Profile") as this would be
redundant.
We have a small laminator at press so the pressman can see the effects of
the lamination on the sheet when they are setting up the job. I presscheck
every job and I can tell you that since the "lamination effect" is not a
linear gain, you will need to make adjustments on press in some cases to
compensate for the lamination differences that cant be profiled as well as
ghosting issues and variations in inks, paper, ect. Both proofs go out to my
pressmen and we have had no issues as they have been trained in the
significants of each proof.
