At least you call it as it is.
Curious though, if you use high UCR then indeed your using PCM as in
CMYK>CSA>CRD of the plate setter. Not ICC CM but conversions using presets
that are appropriate for your press conditions/media.
As you said most printers ignore profiles. Going from rgb to printer space
though can use ICC and the profiles will be different press dependent. So
the initial separation is important , there after if the press controls are
running to match the proof then all should be okay. How is this affected if
someone wants a different screen and or dot shape?
