>> Are the cmyk ink standards different in SWOP and Euroscale?
I took a look to a couple of profiles (or, to better say, two Photoshop
conversion tables) two different printers gave me:
the first is for commercial catalogues roto-offset (I think) printing. It
says SWOP, dot gain 20%, CGR, black ink limit 80%, total ink 360%, very
light black generation (starting at 20%).
The second table is for fashion brossures printing;
custom inks, dot gain 20%, GCR, medium black generation, black ink limit 99%
(??), total ink 400%, UCA 50%.
Here in Italy many prepress guys consider CM as something potentially
dangerous to keep away from.
Hope this help.
