Hi all
I am wondering if ‘velvet’ refers to what is normally stated as a soft
touch varnish this normally should be having very low reflectance and does
make the colour lighter and a touch yellower.
For spot colours we normally give printers pre and post values to help mix
the ink where as with process we ask to see sheets unvarnished and check to
12647 as I don’t believe a standard has been created for this kind of work
yet.
Would be interesting to hear any other opinions or whether this is
something of an ISO consideration.
Kind regards
Nick

Salut Hervé,
additionally to Hanno’s answer: A prerequisite of use of the profile
“PSO_Coated_v2_300_Matte_laminate_eci.icc” (seems to be the right choice
for velvet) is a tone value increase 10% higher compared to Fogra39. That
means, in the 40% tone you should set an increase value of 13% + 10% = 23%
for CMY and of 16% + 10% = 26% for K. I don’t know the effects of “velvet”
but I think you should not go beyond 10%+ because that increase is a
compensation of the light refraction in the film layer depending on its
typical thickness. This is only a rough rule of thumb, and for glossy
laminate you can work with the same curves.
Best regards,
Dieter

*Betreff:* Re: [ECI-EN] Question about velvet lamination
Hi Hervé,
I am not familiar with "velvet films" as a term. Are they very silky,
matte (fuzzy) and at the same time with a wide "glossy sheen" which
captures much of the ambient light, but directional? So that intensity
changes with orientation?
This is what I assume for the following...
It is a difficult case for proofing. The characterization data are for
45/0 geometry, but the viewing is more like diffuse illumination with an
overall direction, which in this case can make a big difference.
It may help to get the viewing closer to a 45/0 or 0/45 situation by
blocking much of the other diffuse ambient light. Then a print-to-proof
match which measures close to 0 Delta E will also appear close.
F49 is probably a bit too light in the shadows, you may see more contrast
on the laminated print. But it should get the color shift approximately
right if your screen is around 150-180 lpi.
(F49 and F50 are not well suited for extremely fine or coarse or NP/FM
screens, where the color shifts will be smaller.)
But this is only the colorimetric part of the story... without the surface
properties.
There is no proofing substrate which matches the surface of matte and
silky lamination well.
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.
Best regards
Hanno

*Hello everyone,*
I request an expert opinion about velvet lamination. Maybe one of the ECI
members can help me ?
Can i use the F49 matte laminate characterization for a velvet lamination?
..Velvet lamination is very specific..
*Best regards.*
