Hey guys,
Does 6 color Hexachrome printing require any special prepress handling?
If so what are some of the ins and outs?
Thanks,
Lenny R.
how would one formulate a violet ink that would be most suitable for such a process?
here are some clues:
1) you need profile maker or a profiling tool to generate hexachrome icc profiles. not sure if there are already generic ones...
2) you need a version of adobe photoshop that supports multichannel(cs4 and up) to convert rgb images t0 6 channel hexachrome.
3) then off course you need to setup your rip to accomodate those extra two colors... FM screening is preferable since there are no screen angles.
so how would one use the multichannel generated ICC profile to see if a pantone color can be produced using a one of the ink combinations. i understand that trying to convert the PMS color in photoshop to the multichannel icc profile generated by profile maker will give an on screen visualization to compare the colors on screen, and check how close the lab values are, but how would u use those percentages if other adobe software does not support it...
