Are you purposely misinterpreting my point?
Photoshop is supplied with a profile that can be used for US magazine
reproduction. No such profile is supplied for European magazine use.
US and Japanese users get twice the amount of canned press profiles that
European users get. (The profiles are no doubt better than the Euroscale
profiles also.)

Read my post.
Or better still supply me with the settings that will enable me to produce a
custom profile *in Photoshop* that will look good on a European web press.
I'd be interested to see if this can be done without making some odd changes
to the cyan dot gain curve?

So does ANY canned profile!
Read my post again.
The *limited extent* to which I referred was the fact that Euroscale v2 only
seems to produce a passable separation when fed data from AdobeRGB1998.
Is this the behaviour that you expect from "ANY canned profile"?
