Lot's of printers don't even want to start profiling their press. There are
pros and cons to this. But that's reality.

To a certain extent, yes. The same printers I refer to above have fashioned
their proofer (read 9600) simulations after some analog laminated proofs
like Matchprint or ColorArt or Approval. As long as their press can
emcompass all colors of the simulations, yes, it's certainly possible to
have the press match the proof.

Bear in mind that US SheetfedCoated v2 is actually a Matchprint profile in
sheepskin clothing. Your printer may not even know this. But as long as
they're satisfied they can hit those colors on press, there is no harm.

Good luck.
