Flat tints (ex: 10% Cyan) printing on offset press using a coated stock that falls within SWOP3 (#3 paper) characteristics and the same tint printing on heavily optically brightened uncoated stock will and do look completely different. In the coated printing the 10% cyan looks very yellow compared to the uncoated printing. Customer wants the uncoated printing to look like the coated printing. All I can do at this point is add yellow into the 10% cyan tint; create new CTP and hopefully the uncoated printing will be a better visual match. I'm not too up on Device Link profiles or software to create Device Links; but is there a way to adjust the output files to compensate for this type of situation without having to manually colour correct each and every image? I have to make the adjustment yet keep the initial files intact (as the customer may repurpose or reprint at a later date) and just create a file that can be printed to better match each other in the situation I have mentioned.
