Maybe. That is if they knew how to print to standards and THEN decided
to exceed them. But my reality is trying to inch people towards a
standard and then using process control to try and hold things there.
Once that is achieved, only then can you decide to exceed the
standards.
To some, "standards" implies lowest common denominator printing. This
may generally be true of SWOP/TR001 but not of the relatively new
GRACoL/TR004 (actually Draft or DTR001). Most every printer I've been
to would do well to consistently hit TR004 let alone exceed it. The
alternative is the relative chaos we have now with "every man for
himself" printing conditions.
In a closed-loop environment this approach is possible, maybe even
desirable, but today's reality is decidedly NOT closed-loop.
