Sometime ago I shared about my disappointing experiences with printers
who do not take into consideration the ColorSync profiles. Shortly after
that, I sent another job to another printer but I asked him first what
profiles I should use, asking if ISO Coated (someone on the list had
advised that I should try this profile) was all right. His answer was
that this profile was fine. This was a job in a hurry (as usual, I'm
afraid) and there was no time for a proof. The flyers came out too dark.
When I asked the printer why, he said that next time I should lighten
the files by 10%. This answer didn't satisfy me, for the files were
fine, so I asked him how he dealt with the profile. He said he had
converted the file into SWOP. But when I checked by soft proofing, it
was obvious that he had assigned the profile instead of converting to
it. So here is my next question in my quest for a fool proof way of
dealing with printers: What would you think of sending Photoshop files
that have been saved as RGB EPS files? The printer would then have to
check the CMYK option when he opens the file, and the file should be
then separated into his CMYK settings. Would that approach make sense?
Best regards,
