Finishing
This example shows an attempt at ChromaSpot Fanbook production using the same substrate and three finishing methods. Three separate LUTs have been created for each finishing. To better understand, let's have a closer look at some details.
Left – gloss laminated, in the middle – without any finishing, right – matte laminated
The first page of the Fanbook starts with Neutrals:
The finishing process can impact the gamut- it can reduce or enlarge.
On the second page of the Fanbook we have experienced a huge error for the matte laminated print:
The algorithm is compensating CMYK coordinates:
Sample: ChromaSpot N.11 Signal black
glossy - total ink limit (TIL) = 275%, delta = 0.59 — C = 74.67 M = 66.31 Y = 48.75 K= 84.94
matte - total ink limit (TIL) = 397% delta = 5.66 — C = 99.35 M = 98.88 Y = 98.25 K= 100.0
There is no way to apply more ink; the existing TIL is exceptionally high.
In this case, gloss reduces the initial 4.1 to 3.3 ∆E, while matte lamination increases it up to 6.6
In all cases, the ChromaSpot 7B1.40, when printed on KM-1e on a selected substrate, is outside the printer gamut.
