Question

Visual color seems different no contrast in half-tones

Hello,

I’m facing a issue with the viewing of colors in Acrobat,

I made my pdf in PackZ and in it, my layer of “2_White” seems constrasted good (I have some parts that are 70% screening) but when I open it in Acrobat and my colleagues as well, we barely see the difference when we only have the layer of 2_White (without going into the preview with the separations)

Even when I’m trying to increase the value of my Lab I still don’t see the constrat in Acrobat. See the screenshots bellow for the view of both PackZ and Acrobat.

We tried different parameters but we can’t see what to do.

 

Thanks

    Maybe PackZ does something wrong? Just in case, how does this PDF look like in other PDF viewers (browsers, Preview etc?)

    Seems better when I check it in PDF Viewer in Google Chrome. And it’s good in the preview in our workflow cloud.

    But some colleagues or customers only use Acrobat for check if the file is good or no, and it’s a problem that the constrast in Acrobat doesn’t match the contrast in other hardware.

    For me it’s more of a display issue in Acrobat.

    Please consider posting the PDF here. Without such a sample it obviously is difficult to determine which viewer is correct (if any).
