Hi to all....
Let me explain my experience.....
We've got pre-press and press, even photographic studio... we works with CTP
(since 7 years ago) and in theory is a perfect place to have a
colorworkflow... (from our digital capture to our press, proofs includes)
but....
I agree that ISO can be helpfully in some cases... but I think that
depending of your type of production, you might like print with higher
densities or for instance with more Yellow... (for example, our speciality
are furniture, and we print with more yellow than standard...)
I mean that an ISO normative, should to be a starting point, not the
target....
Following this theory, the answer it seems easy... make the Icc of your
press and match your proofs to that ...
But one of the biggest problems is the instability of the Press....
Unfortunately there are to many things that influence in the color answer
and dot gain of the press....
We have made a BIG effort trying to match our proofs to our press... but
there are to many variables on press (only with papers is an underworld) ...
Solution... say one's prayers.. ;o)
For a moment we haven't found a "perfect" solution, but we are working with
acceptable result as below..
Our proofs are stable, then we tray to match the press to our proofs... but
we have "cut" the color answer of our proofs, trying to facilitate our
press...
I know that is not the best way, but for a moment works (more or less)...
cheers...
