Lee,
If you or your company sells prepress proofs to your clients then it should
be a simple answer, the best proof is what is accurate to the press. And you
might have more than one type at a different price points to offer. Now if
your proofs don9t match your press or have a reasonable relationship to it
then you have a problem.
Another issue to consider is, internally, within your company, do you know
the visual difference between the types of analog and ink jet proofs you
sell? Are they close matches to the press as well as each other?
I am not exactly sure about your last question. It seems obvious. The
photographer needs to create profiles for their printer. He or she uses
their printer profile in conjunction with your supplied press profiles to
simulate your printing condition. Of course the profiles would have to be
the right quality and the photographer must have a printer that is in
capable of producing pre-press proofs.
