I am a commercial printer and run over 250 proofs a week using the

Hi Peter
That caste colour sounds odd to me. ISO Coated gives us a slightly
blue-biased neutral paper base colour (on FOGRA-approved media) and
is good for a less than 2 dE reading. Are you using the latest ISO
Coated profile or one of the older ones?
We did some work with a local printer who are running 2 HP digital
presses and litho on a Komori. I got them to run the Altona test page
and then measured the FOGRA target. The paper white on their trade
stocks was near identical to the FOGRA white on our proofs.
Everything else (apart from 100% CMYK on the litho sheet) was way out
as they had little interest in colour control - but the paper white
was very accurate.
No client likes seeing ink black and paper white and would prefer to
sign off a full-gamut proof on Epson photo glossy and then moan that
the printer hasn't done the job right ;-)
