| A common problem is where a designer will have a 100% color background and have a 90% tint of the color to simulate a water-mark effect. However when printed the effect vanishes or is too pronounced. The issue is design software must estimate how the tint will look on screen and assumes it will be printed on a traditional offset press with the expected dot-gain. | A common problem is where a designer will have a 100% color background and have a 90% tint of the color to simulate a water-mark effect.

| - | Digital printers handle a tint color differently. Digital printers only simulate tints using CMYK for example. The print driver or RIP calculates the tint color based on is several settings such as the color profile, the rendering intent, the type of input color and the type of substrate and printing process used. It does not know that the business card your client printed last week// (that the client asked you to match to)// was printed on an uncoated card. The end result is a print where the tint is too light or too dark. | + | Digital printers handle a tint color differently. Digital printers only simulate tints using CMYK for example.

| Rather than guessing the correct color of tint, just use Mr Tint to quickly create a test chart and print it to the media, You can then select the tint to get the desired results you see on screen or match to a sample provided. | Rather than guessing the correct color of tint, just use Mr Tint to quickly create a test chart and print it to the media, You can then select the tint to get the desired results you see on screen or match to a sample provided. | ||
