Dear Adobe Tech Support
RE: LACK OF EUROPEAN WEB OFFSET CMYK PROFILE IN PHOTOSHOP
It has come to my attention that you may be unaware of the fact that we have
web offset printing presses in Europe and that it's quite a popular method
(definitely not an "uncommon standard") of printing magazines.
We do, and it is.
In fact, the technology was developed by MAN at their Augsburg plant in
1921. That's Augsburg in Germany - which is in Europe. (You might need to
verify this information as I'm normally a little "worse for wear" when I
listen to the presentations at DRUPA)
You are obviously aware that web printing requires a profile that is a
little different from sheet fed printing otherwise you wouldn't have
included a SWOP profile with the software.
Why you should have thought to develop a web profile for the US (and Japan
in PS7) but not Europe, I don't know?
Apparently it has something to do with a malfunctioning "mind reading
plugin" which I hope will be ready for the next release of CS (along with
the sharpening tools that were also suffering from a similar malfunction).
You can correct this problem quite easily by talking to the people at the
European Colo[u]r Initiative (www.eci.org) and asking to use the results of
their hard work.
I'm sure that they'd let you bundle the "ISO Web Coated sb" profile in with
your software. They'd probably let you call it Euroscale Web Coated or
AdobeEuroWeb(2004) if you gave them some money.

Martin Orpen
PS. You may also be unaware that the software tools in Photoshop for
building custom CMYK profiles are rubbish.
