"A whopping 88% of the people who responded to GATFs PDF Workflow
Survey stated that the biggest problem with the PDF files printers
receive is that they contain problems that prevent them from being
'ready to print.'"
There is a misunderstanding lurking in this thread. The
misunderstanding is that PDF/X-3 is about standards-based process color
printing.
PDF/X-3 is a _rendering specification_ for PDF and PostScript. It is
not about ISO 12647-2 versus SWOP or ECI-RGB versus Adobe RGB (1998).
If a printer wants to receive printable content, then PostScript is not
the right format. That is the QuarkXPress mess, loose fonts, loose
images, and a native file.
If a printer wants to receive printable content, then PDF/X-3 makes
sure that the constructs in the document will render to a broad range
of interpreters.
Whether the interpreter doing the low resolution rendering for the
proof and the interpreter doing the high resolution rendering for the
print are on the same page, literally, can be tested using the Altona
Test Suite which is free. Needless to say, if the interpreter doing
the high resolution rendering for print cannot run the suite and the
interpreter doing the low resolution rendering for proof can, the
studio takes its business elsewhere, period.
Thanks,
Henrik
