Or better yet talk to the printer and see if you can come up with a better
(more specific) CMYK conversion procedure. Hell...they might even have an
ICC profile they could e-mail you! Even Modern Postcard provides press
profiles on their web site for doing your conversions. I tend to doubt any
greeting card company is running out greeting cards on a web press
(sheetfed more likely) but I suppose anything is possible. But find out! If
all else fails and you do have to use something "generic" then I agree that
the Adobe v2 profiles are a really great place to start (but it might be
"Sheetfed Coated" instead of SWOP).
