Hi Joseph,
Is the real answer to calibrate the clear vinyl printer to 12647-2?
I think a G7 calibration on that printer will give you a close visual match
to your ISOCaoted V2 proofs.
Don't know what equipment you have but you can calibrate sheetfed using the
G7 method to hit the 12647-2 Standard.
If the vinyl printer is 'out of range' for hitting the standard a G7
calibration is going to give you a pretty darn close visual match to the
proof.
Best regards,
Dan Wilson
