which sheetfed cyan? there must be dozens at least. and don't get me started
on magentas.
I don't see how you could ever have a TR-001-like equivalent for sheetfed
printing. SWOP is very tightly defined but Gracol is all over the place
relative to SWOP.
maybe the v2 Adobe CMYK profiles would be a decent predictor of (very
generalized) sheetfed conditions?
d hey kids, it's SNAP GraCOl and SWOP! b.
