Financial Times "Salmon Stock"

[Jnsic]

How can we do color corrections to compensate for the pink color of this stock? We proof through GMG color management directly on the stock itself. Just wondering if any of you have the same problem with color corrections on this.

What profile/target data are you using to proof toward? Ideally you would have a profile generated from a target printed on that stock. Alternately, you could edit the white point of the ICC profile you use when editing toward a more "salmon" white and turn on "simlate paper" in PShop when editing.

I needed our color guy here to take a reading on the salmon stock to generate a profile in photoshop, and even Illustrator..so we can have somewhat predictable results..he hasn't gotten to it yet. I was trying to find the lab values of the stock online somewhere..but can't find them

Send such a request to Sabine Lenz <[email protected]>. Or, measure your paper stock and create a profile. I did this once for green paper.

I supply loads of ads to the FT, we use an ISO profile 'ISOnewspaper26v4' for separation and use a Colorbus proofing system as do the FT, although that will change soon.
