I’ve got to recreate some printed material from the late 1980s. First problem is that I’ve run into is that our ISO standard inks can’t match the yellows and reds on the original. The red I need to hit on press is the one that you’ll find on any old Cromalin — the vivid 100Y 100M patch of the Brunner control strip — which doesn’t seem achievable under an ISO standard world :( Switching Y & M to Yellow C & Rubine Red is getting us close on a GMG proof, but if anybody has any better suggestions for getting a massively saturated red on press I’d be interested to hear about it? Next problem is the separation. The original job was separated on a Scitex system. Under a microscope it looks as if the K stops around 65% giving a TIL something like 100M 100Y 80C 60K. The print job is warm, but no matter where I check with the scope, cyan *always* exceeds black — including all the detail in 100M 100Y saturated reds and in 100Y yellows. Before I start building a custom profile, does anybody know if there were ICC versions of the Scitex profiles available? Or know of any documentation about the K generation and/or characteristics of Scitex separations? Regards -- Martin Orpen Idea Digital Imaging Ltd
