Re: Correct for a laminate finish

Been there done THAT Roger!

You need to make two profiles, one pre-laminate and the other post- 
laminate.

The job gets separated via the post-laminate profile but you hand the  
pressman a proof done using the pre-laminate profile...looks ugly when  
they run it but as long as they match the proof, it should look just  
as you expect once the lamination is applies.

Spent most of a weekend in a hotel with my iCColor a few years back  
running bunches of IT8 charts from pre/post-laminate press sheets that  
had about 3-4 different laminates applied. Lots of beer and room  
service that weekend!
