Will it be used as a reflective print or as a backlit print? In the first case printing on a thin, glossy PET film will allow measuring. First you can check the translucency of both the perspex and the foil with the spectrometer. Used as a backlit print it is a different story.

Good afternoon!
It’s quite likely that this has been covered before, however, I have to ask.
We are attempting to print high quality images on the back face of clear plexiglass, with a white ink layer behind the image.
The print engine in question is a Rastek H625 (by EFI) UV-cured inkjet.
While I can color manage paper prints with this device, the backside-plexiglass printing has me stymied. The images are extremely bright and overly-contrasty, to the point of being unacceptable, especially as companion pieces to other latex work we’re doing.
I thought I’d just characterize the output on the plexiglass, however my ES-2000 won’t read the swatches through the plexiglass, for whatever reason — it simply faults out. I’m using EFI color profiler suite 4.6.
Have any of you faced the same issue? Any advice on how to go about color managing this sort of printing?
I know I have to figure out how to read these swatches, but beyond that, are there any caveats for working with "back side of glass” printing?
Many thanks-
Randy Norian
