I’d like to know the “optimal” workflow for printing with fluorescent spot colors.

NeoStampa the extra colors are included in the profile, it doesn’t matter if your printer is CMYK or CMYK+RGB, the profile creation process is the same and the color gamut size will depend on the number of colors, the paper/fabric used and the type of inks. Usual Adobe RGB or sRGB profiles are bigger than the printer profile, therefore you should limit the color possibilities you see on the screen. It does help if you use the real printer profile in Photoshop. In order to do that we need also a calibrated proofing monitor in order to match colors and see the best results in it. What we do is to install the printing profile on software like Photoshop, which allows us to use a proofing tool to see the printer colors on the screen. When we calibrate a monitor, we usually have a huge profile from the Monitor vs a smaller profile from the printer. As RGB is a bigger color space than CMYK, does monitor profiling really helps? If yes, how? Once the files reach the printer, the operator simply has to choose the number of copies to print.

For example, a Reggiani Machine has its own machine software, therefore neoStampa would send a series of tiff files with the color management already done to the machine. There are machines that require multi-tiff files to print. It depends on the neoStampa connection to the printer. Is it possible to print not to a printer but to a lab tiff file export? Usually, We use the D65 as standard, but the condition must be set according to the user ambient light standard or according to Lightbox they’re using. What do you think is the default lighting condition in textile printing to judge color? D50 or D65?ĭ65 in textile, D50 in graphic art.
