It's a failure in my opinion. Low gain and high print contrast will
make that press relatively more difficult to keep in control throughout
a press run than one running to the recommended gain/contrast, to say
nothing about the fact that they will not be able to match customer
supplied "generic" separations. Oh, and they will need to re-write the
whole Pantone Process Guide to fit their press conditions! Can
color-management solve this problem? Yes. But it makes a whole lot more
sense to bring your print conditions towards a standard than to
stubbornly insist that you're "exceeding" the standard.
Just my $.03 worth. :-)

Terry
