Reply To: Simulating CMYK print on colored paper

Thanks David, It should be easy, it just isn’t. I can see exactly what the output will look like in Overprint Preview in ADOBE InDesign, it doesn’t seem like such a stretch to publish this view in an ADOBE PDF that is meant for online viewing or proofing.

One solution is to output my pink-paper newspaper as JPEGs, but I lose search ability and the size becomes prohibitive for a 16-to-40 page document even shrunk to legal-size paper.

I really don’t care how accurate the color of the paper is, it’s not consistent in real life. Paying for a service to create a ICC profile for just one color paper is not going to happen.

I guess there are very few users who would need this, but we publish our newspaper in print and online using PDFs to send to the printer, and to convert into an online flash format that’s supposed to look like the newsprint version.

Oh well, thanks again!
