My advice is to save your sanity do not profile a press, control it, make it
print the way it was designed to. Create your profiles from your proofing
device, it is much more stable.
Once again, this doesn't address the issue of where the proof profile
comes from. They have to come from somewhere, and need to be such
that the press can be adjusted to match.
I also suspect this debate is all about precision of color reproduction.
Separating and proofing to a generic press profile, and then adjusting
the press to match gets you so far. If the press can be kept consistent
enough, then profiling it and separating for it specifically, can get you
another step up in quality. Perhaps most of the current printing industry
isn't ready for that next step. If the press cannot be run consistently enough,
then there is no point in profiling it, assuming it behaves sufficiently
like the generic standard.
