Dear list I have a job coming up that involves the copying of a painting for a client's Christmas card. The image will be shot digital and supplied as an Adobe 98 RGB file. The problem is the painting consists of blocks of bright colours, most of which will not reproduce faithfully in CMYK. I have suggested to the printer to use more inks and he said he would try Hexachrome 6 colour printing.
I asked him about the colour management / profiles for Hexachrome and he replied that profile tagged files don't work for Hexachrome, and he will have to do trial and error wet proof tests to get the optimum result. Does anyone know if this is normal for Hexachrome or if the is a best / better way to print accurately the colours? There is a 70,000 print run so rule out my 1290!
