Vanita,
Actually, this does seem like a problem waiting to happen, if you are
marketing the proofs as contract proofs. Otherwise, keep on printing!
The Kodak Approval may be a SWOP certified digital proofer, but that
doesn't mean it lays inks/densities/dot gain in a SWOP certified
manner, like an old analog MatchPrint did. In fact, it doesn't at all,
which means the Kodak has a very different color behavior than does
SWOP! If you choose to profile the Kodak Approval, and separate images
into that profile before sending to the Kodak, your proof and digital
file would be working well outside of the SWOP (choose your TR00 here)
gamut.
That doesn't mean you should change your workflow, but it is something
to realize as you market your proofs. You could say 'Our Kodak Approval
is the best', but it is unlikely that you getting an accurate predictor
of press behavior with your current workflow. There is also the
possibility that if you send a digital file in CMYK to a printer, he
could assume that all he has to do is print it instead of first
converting it to a decent profile such as U.S Web Coated (SWOP) v2.
ESPECIALLY seeing that he's got a SWOP certified digital proof right
next to it!
That is my two cents!
