FWIW> If you look at the custom ink set-up in Photoshop 5x,6x you can view
the different Lab values for different ink sets. There quite large
differences in the black and cyan but in the end these are of course based
on idealised sets. Many printers mix different inks on the same press run so
these values can only be as they clearly say in the Adobe guides as starting
points.
Many, many prepress houses here in Europe scan in on SWOP coated stock even
if the destination printer is Eurocoated. Problem of education possibly.
Then their proofers are set up to SWOP. Not a good idea. Then if you send
them a correctly separated file, say in Euro V2 they'll proof it incorrectly
compared to a system that is calibrated to realistic Euroscale. Very
confusing for clients signing off on SWOP proofs going to lwc papers at the
moment by prepress houses who have yet to see the suggested changes by the
leading image application producers.
