Hello all,
I would like to ask if anybody has any experience subtracting paper color from 4 color call-outs. I have a job that will have 4 color swatches that will be printing on colored paper. In the past I have read the swatch samples with the Spectrolino to create my 4 color breakdown of the swatch. I then read the paper to get a 4 color breakdown of the paper, and I subtract this from the swatch breakdown to adjust for the color of the paper. This leaves a little to be desired to say the least. My question would be, would I be better off subtracting the Lab values of the colors and converting the difference to 4 color for the adjustment? As always, all input is most appreciated, and I thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Todd
