The point that I was trying to make is that the PDF/X construct
doesn't solve any color issues (other than PDF/X-1 dictating that
everything be in CMYK).
While I believe that PDF/X-3 offers a rendering specification to ensure
that interpreters offer _interoperable rendering_ we entirely agree
that neither PDF/X1a nor PDF/X-3 address color management (or text
management for that matter).
I also believe that PDF/X-3 offers the benefit that the image designer
and the page designer can lock the CMYK Working Space into the PDF,
preventing the press operator from assigning an inappropriate profile.
In my humble opinion this is one of the biggest benefits, along with
the benefit that comes from having the CMYK Working Space in the PDF so
that tight colorimetric tolerances can be applied for remote proofing
at all three sites in the workflow.
A print service provider who specifies that all jobs should be in
PDF/X1a has no guarantee that the jobs are correctly built from a color
management perspective. This is also true of PDF/X-3, of course.
I should have made the above clear in the previous post.
Thanks,
Henrik
