We work with a range of products that apply a mix and match of effects and inks, printed on a variety of substrates including normal and metallic inks on foils.
In-house we do our color matching under controlled lighting conditions with correct reading equipment, which give us predictable results.
Our clients however, do visual comparisons, which on white board with normal inks can be a challenge but when printing on foils with all the shine and reflectance, it is near impossible to make an accurate comparison between targets and new printed samples.
One of the suggestions I have made to clients is when comparing samples to place them inside a matt white board cone so as to block out as much polluting color as possible from surrounding objects. I know that this is not ideal but it does help.
I would really appreciate any feedback, suggestions and tips for visual and digital color matching methods on foils and metallic inks.
Thanks
