    Getting a closer match of UV flatbed prints from various print suppliers

    Thanks Paul, The work will be regular, so maybe I should see if our printers want to make a profile for our stock, and measure the test results to see how close or far apart they are. This is a help for me to direct a few questions and find a way to improve the end result. Brett

    Conflicting Lab Color Values

    So maybe I use ISO Coated v2 (or Fogra39 coated), but then aim to relevant screen print specs in 12647-5? (Ah, this gets confusing sometimes!) We will get a densitometer and/or spectrophotometer soon for press and proofing etc. so i know we are hitting our targets. Brett

    Conflicting Lab Color Values

    Hi Stephen, Do you know what the total CMYK ink limit is for your screen printing? No we don't have any ink limits at the moment.

    Conflicting Lab Color Values

    We are screen printers, and I am trying to set some print standards for our printers. ISO 12647-5 Fogra9 is for screen print, but i can't seem to find a profile to install (SC_GC2_CO_F30), only find the data. However, Fogra information sheet says Fogra9 is practically identical to offset on...
