Can anyone comment on any printing standards/specifications for packaging printing. We often produce separations for boxes that you might find plates and flatware packaged in, also cereal boxes, ice cream ect. Coated board, nothing really strange. Most of the printers have used SWOP specs for density and dotgain and we've generally not had a problem with our proofs. However, a particular printer now notes that they do not print toward SWOP, will not change their curves for this job and are "requiring" us to color correct our CMYK so that they can match the proof on press. I say give me a profile and/or the specifications, but I doubt they have a profile and their proofing system was "dialed" in by density and dotgain from another proofing system...or something. I understand "packaging is a general term and specifications would vary, but there has to be something to aim at right?
