It is my understanding that SWOP does not quote or mandate any densities,
dot gains and print contrast, or other process control type of
specifications. If you look carefully in the SWOP book you won't se any of
the above.

12 in all.

Still, SWOP fully endorses TR-001 as the correct proofing for SWOP, no?
That's what the 10th edition book says.
