Yes - I just cant understand why they dont let us in? By now its pretty
clear that RGB based workflow is taking over and image editing is on
literally everybodies hands. A print shop that doesnt provide basic info
about their seperation tables (or better yet gets a ICC-profile made) is
going to be left behind at some point. Sure, print shops have lost a lot of
work/money since they dont scan everything anymore but COMMON! This attitude
is simply dumb. If they would let us in - WE would be 99% responceble for
the outcome (provided that the seperation tables or ICC profiles are
reasonably accurate). I would think this is a major headace print houses
would love to get rif off. Or am I missing something?
