Hi Folks,

I've done some tests earlier about gloss laminating. Based on these, the reason for color shift is twofold:
1. The adhesive and the foil provide an effect optically as a "wet stone", that is, as a planparalel plate. (For thermal foils, the glue is almost exclusively causes the color shift effect, using matte foil the "culprit" is the foil.) The colors become more saturated and darker.
2. Saturated and darker colors also cause optical Dot gain. And it is very important, for lower TV we always get bigger TVI, because the paper color will be changed also. This is the reason we never get the same effect on proofs. The proof use different screening. This a very important isue.

Both problems can be eliminated by decreasing density, on the one hand reducing TVI. Matt foil typically  lightens the black, and can compensated for it by increasing density. The question is always whether we want to compensate these effects or not? The answer is always we do not want to change the color shift.

*Hello everyone,*

I appreciate your time and attention, your answers are very important for
me.
Velvet seems to be a less matte stratification that F49. But the result
seems to be very low reflectance and does make the colour lighter and a
touch yellower.

*'The alternative can be to laminate the proof with the same film, if you
have access to such equipment.*

*Important: then you need also a profile (or "gamut" in GMG-speak) of the
laminated proof (print an ECI2002 or IT8.7/4 with a linear transformation
on your proofer, laminate and measure). *

*Do not assume that you can simply make a F39 proof and laminate it to get
the same optical effect and color shift as on the print - much of the color
shift is additional optical dot gain which depends on the screen.'*

Thanks for the tip :) If I'm lucky, maybe I could do a press test and
laminate.

*Gentlemen, thank you very much.*

*Best regards.*

Herv?
