Rahul,
First, you probably shouldn't be using the same target profile for your
color laser and the commercial press. You should create a linked profile
that converts your color data into the laser's characteristics first and
then into your target profile. Otherwise, you're feeding false data to one
or both of your output devices.
Second, Delta-E just quantifies color shift. What is an acceptable shift for
one pair of eyes may not be for another. But if you want some type of
benchmark, a value of 6 or less is typically used to indicate that the color
has not shifted perceptably. But in a class I teach I've been able to get
shifts of 10 past most noses without complaint.
