Predicting Spot Color Overprints
Predicting ink behavior on a substrate can be accomplished by combining spectral modeling algorithms with spectral ink measurements, as well as the substrate's colorimetric properties.
CSW was recently looking for a better way to represent spot color interactions with an inkjet proofing device, to predict multi-spot color overprints prior to seeing the result on press.
"After talking with GMG, we thought we might have found a way to move beyond conventional spot color separation and proofing," says Skrzynski. "When they visited us for the first time, we presented them with one of our most challenging separations to proof. Within minutes, their system, OpenColor, provided a proof with the same color fidelity as one that we had spent hours tweaking. Their live demo was done faster—and more accurately—than anything we had done in the past.
