But you say "for ... some heatset web offset fogra27 is the standard".
I am curious to know what you mean with "some", what are the heatset
included and what are the not included in fogra 27. Perhaps you can
explain it.
Thank you.

Hi Mauro,
Yes I indicated that Fogra27 profiles (such as ISOcoated) are made for
sheet fed offset and are sometimes used for web offset (heat set).
The ISOwebcoated.icc profile based on Fogra28 is made for web offset
(heatset) and fits LWC paper (LightWeightCoated).
For some LWC papers which show whiter (such as "Hi-Brite" due to the
optical brightener) the ISOcoated profile is used.
Also for some WFC (wood free coated) papers like double coated Galerie Art
from M-Real, the ISOcoated.icc profile is used.
In general whiter and heavier web papers for the more expensive products
(magazines and catalogs) sometimes use profiles based on fogra27.
The best advise I can give you is:
Contact your printer and ask them what ISO-profiles they prefer.
In France however a number of web offset printers still use the old web
offset standards.
These standards however, have no link with the international standards. So
be careful.
Regards,
Henk Gianotten
