OK good point - but at least in the U.S. there is quite a bit of
variation in black TVI in newsprinting. I think that's the sort of thing
someone really needs to get from their printer, or figure out from
experience. On another list I'm on, someone said they've figured out that
on Friday's they have to compensate for substantially more (or less, I'm
not remembering) TVI with a particular newspaper. It's just Fridays for
whatever reason.
Ken Applebaum came over to see for himself that ICC workflows
function at a simple level of press control at around 80 Swedish
newspapers. The densitometric and visual system used in Sweden is no
substitute for automated spectrophotometrically-based press control
systems such as those Heidelberg has been introducing, but
nonetheless trying to get the presses to run to a standard downstream
in the workflow is enough to bring down reclaims from advertisers
dramatically.
If upstream in the workflow grayscale images are tagged with a source
profile when building PDF 1.3 / 1.4 for digital ad delivery, then you
know where the grayscale object is coming from. This is better than
having to assume where it came from. It doesn't matter whether the
grayscale profile will work for every conceivable condition, just as
long as the profile is interoperable.
Friday afternoons as much as through the rest of the week ... -:).
