Roger,
I use a slightly modified SWOP v2. The modifications are changes to the
default GCR settings, an increase in Max Density to 330-340%, and perhaps
some gradation tweeks for a better monitor match. But the chroma is SWOP
v2. I still wish I had better control over Black generation.
I use versions of this at work on a number of workstations, as well as at
home on those rare occasions when I need a CMYK file. This gives a good
ballpark match if the monitor is calibrated and set at ~5000K (remember, at
work we are not using a full ColorSync workflow). The curves and chroma are
a pretty good starting point (compared to the other standards) for most
common proofing systems (Kodak Approval, Fuji ColorArt, Matchprint,
Waterproof). I assume color standards are the same for Canada as for here?
Perhaps I should not assume.
I hope this is useful,
Mark

Which Separations profile, if I may ask, do you personnally use in your
CMYK
Working Space?
