In the absence of any better information, I'd suggest separating to
the US Sheetfed Coated v2.0 profile that comes with Photoshop, but
you should probably put some kind of disclaimer in the contract about
responsibility for accurate color...
With the 350% total area cover of this flatsheet profile, I would think that
some web printers might have issues with this shadow build? With dot gain of
around 23/24/24/27 at least you will not be getting a dark image, I prefer
to go a bit lighter than darker if the conditions are not known (the TR001
has lower gains than the flatsheet profile, which seems strange by default
or average).
When you're being told to supply CMYK for secret printing conditions,
there's no right answer! I figure it's easier to reduce TAC than to
increase it, and it might just provoke them into revealing the TAC
they actually need. The disclaimer part was as important as the
profile choice -- it's silly to ask for CMYK then provide no more
info.
The gain in the sheetfed coated profile is based on a 175-line
screen, which is why it's high.
