Simon,
Without knowing all the details of your relationship to the printer it is
hard to give specific advice.
Here is question and comments to consider about this undertaking.
Is the CTP portion of the printing process proven to be optimized?
That is, did some one (like a vendor or consultant) come in to the printer
(or did the printer themselves) and optimize the CTP process by figuring
out the dot gain of the CTP and press and then run some tests on the press
to find out the optimum densities to run to. And then did the press get
setup with good process controls so that the printer can get consistent
color results.
This might be a set of tough questions to ask the printer and tougher for
them to answer. However, if the printer does have the answers then you have
a good shot at it.
Once you know that type of press information you would then run some more
tests to verify that the pre-press files you are sending them will work as
expected. You will then stand a chance at getting a good press profile.
My.02.
