Won't it be nice when they finally fix the presses by designing one that can
print color in unambiguous RGB/CMY? This black plate stuff is an unnecessary
nuisance.

The questions I confrontated them with were:
1) In which standard should I deliver my files? Do you have an ICC-profile
you recommend?
2) May the PDF-files I send to you have embedded fonts or not?
For me, these are two simple questions to proof if "the other side" is
able
to help me getting best results or not.
2 print-houses didn't even answer. 5 anwered with ISOcoated or sent it to
me.
3 said Euroskala, the rest couldn't say.

The question about the PDF or the embedded fonts was answered the same
way.
3 printing-houses gave me extensive descriptions how to produce my PDF,
supplied
Acrobat settings or offered a proof and data-check.
The rest could not say.
This poll is in no way to understand as a general criticism of
printing-houses.
It reflects that colormanagement and understanding or setting up a
workflow is
still, after years of pushing it to a hype, an expert theme and isn't easy
enough for non-experts that may never have learned it.
