We've been working on an ICC profile for our customer to softproof and edit that projects the color shift from SWOP Coat3 to a soft-touch laminate application. We've worked with some top color specialists but can not lock this in. We scanned our target sheets in after printing to SWOP standards and are within G7 tolerance for heatset web printing. We then laminated the sheets, and scanned that data back in. The profile created seemed to be close but as the background colors each month change, the profile seems to be less accurate. Has anyone had luck with this process, or better yet, have a profile for D&K Diamond Hard Velvet Matte Finish? The manufacturer did not, and I've yet to find another printer that's gone through the process. The color shift is considerable, so I have to believe a solid profile exists. Thank you for any input.
