Hi Juris,
My uncalibrated common sense would try this, altough I dont have direct
experience:
- print ICC target
- varnish the target
- create the ICC based on the target
- print as usual but with the iCC_for_varnish setup
We dont use varnish as we are a digital printer. But we do this when trying
to be ultra-precise while using matte lamination foils.
Hope it helps
Zoltan

Subject: [ECI-EN] Aqueous Coating and Lab targets
Hello everyone,
We have Speedmaster 102-4-PL press with AxisContorl. There are targets
defined in AxisControl to hit ISO standard and it is OK with most of jobs.
Problems are with jobs that has to be varnished with Aqueous Coating.
Coating that we use (HI-COAT W2960 Matlak double sided) makes all colors
less saturated.
If color bar is also varnished, AxisControl will try to compensate Aqueous
Coating "effect" by adding more ink to the sheets. More ink will make high
dot gain.
Question is: should we try to hit ISO Lab targets also with Aqueous Coating?
Or maybe we should NOT apply coating to color bar?
regards,
Juris
