Does anyone have experience or advice for integrating an ICC workflow
in regards to separating for different ink densities for various
publications? In other words, when using SRDS publications specs, how
do you handle a conversion to different Ink Limits in a real
production environment?
Example: Vender receives an ad from client that will ship to three
different publications. All images are separated into U.S. Web Coated
(SWOP) v2 which is a 22% Tonal Value Increase and a 300% Total Ink
Density spec. However, each publication requests a different separation.
a) 'Bobs Motorcars' asks for TVI:28%, TIL:260%.
b) 'Retirement World' specs TVI:22%, TIL:280%
c) 'Mens Perspective' requests TVI:20%, TIL:320%.
Since each publication requests a SWOP certified proof it is fair to
assume that I can separate into a TR001 spec'd profile provided that
it was set to the specified TVI/TIL requested by the vendor.
I am also aware of age old prepress preference to create pure K drop
shadows which kills any chance of a completely automated ICC
workflow. However, any advice or insight to this very practical
problem would be welcome.
P.S.
If anyone has a TR001 spec in Monaco raw format, that would be a step
in the right direction. I would be grateful if someone can forward a
copy to me. ;-)
