The style of naming Klaus Karcher suggests will work for closed
environment productions. But for industry wide standardization it is
too complicated and confusing. Just go and tell a casual ad agency
photoshopper to use 20 different ICC profiles to do his job and he
will kill you. He will just understand that the production will be on
coated or uncoated paper or is a newspaper add. Sometimes he even
does not know this and has to make assumptions.
So I partly agree with Peter Arnel, there have to be the "official"
easy standards for the uneducated user, which guaranties a certain
level of color achievability:
- use a calibrated monitor
- use "the" standard profile for creative work
- use soft proof settings in PS etc.
=> your colors will print almost correctly
- If almost is not enough, learn color management and printing
requirements
In case of general productions "almost" is satisfying 95% and there
is no need to go further.
In case of high profile projects or when production happens in more
than one location things are differently.
We currently have the offset ISOs, ISOnewspaper and the PSRs. This is
more than enough for general production. If the new ISOs more closely
match PSO this is welcome and solves some problems discussed here
plenty of times, otherwise it will generate just an other level of
confusion.
Just my 2 cents,
Karsten

If someone in my company uses a file named "foobar sf1 iCpd.tif"
he knows
- it's created or modified by my company (sf)
- it's the first Version (1)
- it's deviated from a media independent PSD named "foobar sf1.psd"
- it's for ISO Coated (iC)
- it's converted using the perceptual intent (p)
- without BPC (t, "Tiefenkompensierung" in German)

See we are all jumping in
Proper naming is crucial for us to get our clients to understand -
What we really need is something like
Euro style - High quality Sheet feed litho printed on coated paper
Euro style - High quality Sheet feed litho printed on uncoated paper
Euro style - High Quality Web Offset on coated with 300 TAC << used
for covers>>
Euro style - Web offset Web Offset on coated
Euro style - Web offset on uncoated
