Adding paper colour to proof

[Warren Bailey]

Hello

Im new here and wondered if anyone could help me with a question i have.

I run an Epson 9600 through a GMG colorProof 04 doing color correctproofs for submsiion to newspapers and magazine. My question is although i have the profile settings for the publications already on the proof i wanted to add the colour of the stock to my 'over white' proof to simulate the colour of the stock they are printing on.

Any ideas how i go about doing this.

You can use the Color Value Correction tool to add or subtract to the white point of the profile for augmenting paper simulation. This will calculate the correction throughout the profile rather than just at the 0,0,0,0, index, which could cause banding/hard transitions. To derive the desired CMYK values a bit more automatically, create a new spot colot in your spot color editor using the Lab of the paper sample and iterate until you get the desired match, than alte yout mx4 via the Color Value Correx tool to thos CMYK values.
