Hi Juris
2010/2/24 Juris Valdmanis <bebris(a)jt.lv>lv>:
But from documentation papers type 1 and type 2 have
the same Lab target
values for primary and secondary colors. >From my previous conclusion papers
like fine gloss (with 3 coating layers) and rough matt (with only one
coating layer) have same Lab target values.
Thats, true.
No problems with type 1 (gloss) papers, as we can get
very close to target
values and densities are ordinary.
But for mate papers (type 2) we have to rise densities to get acceptable Lab
values. It could be understandable as paper surface is rougher and you have
to apply more color to get same saturate colors as on paper type 1.
Problem is that higher densities however lead to different problems in
postpress as paper is not drying well and it smears.
Are those "high" densities tried using standard tone value increase
(i.e. correct plate corrections)?
Maybe some of those troublesome type 2 papers behave more like type 4
papers or maybe somewhere in between (i.e. not suitable for ISO
12647-2 production).
And also I did not find answer to another question:
Are Lab target values
for wet or dry colors?
It is dry colours. You need to establish wet density values for those
dry Lab values.
