Bruce alluded to a possible scenario where CMYK files were delivered
untagged, but described through an XMP based file info structure. There
is a free program from Poundhill which allows the user to create XMP
based file info panels. These could include file prep instructions,
color management instructions and so forth. Additonally, the custom
file info should be searchable using Photoshop and other XMP savvy
applications. The only real catch I've been able to find in its
implementation is that 1) it requires the use of the creative suite on
both ends and 2) both the file creator and the recipient need to have
the particular .txt file correctly installed for the custom file info
panels to be read. So we run into the familiar problem of the file
creator needing to communicate effectively with the print house
receiving the file.
As XMP gains more support, this may someday become a viable
alternative. The software can be found at
