Color Adjustments for Heaven 42

With intense printing experiments it was found that the ICC profile provided on www.heaven42.com can be used. This profile, we can also reproduce in the proof.

The absolutely white paper shade of heaven 42 has effects in printung – as well as prepress. With an unchanged separation (eg with ICC profile “ISOcoated_v2”), the printed image with the same color and dot gain affects considerably colder.

This property is good for the implementation of technical designs. For pictures of people and skin tones, however, the high degree of whiteness results in a noticeable blue tint. Therefore, an adjustment of the colors to the desired color appearance is required.
