A customer has recently mandated that all proofs they receive, from all
vendors, need to be TR001 compliant. We output to a Fuji Finalproof and
another of their vendors uses a Trendsetter/Matchprint Digital system. That
particular vendor claims that their proofs currently are SWOP compliant even
though they use Matchprint Superwhite base. Does the fact that they are
using that base, as opposed to 60# Monterey Gloss, mean that their proofs
are in fact NOT SWOP compliant?
And BTW, I'm using TR001 and SWOP interchangably here, correct me if I'm
wrong.
As for our setup, I'm trying to determine the best way to ensure SWOP
compliance. The way I see it I have two choices. 1) Manually tweak the
FinalProof and the output curves (I'm using a Rampage workflow) to dial in
the device to match the SWOP ADS. 2) Use the the current FinalProof settings
and curves and run all output through an ICC conversion using a profile such
as the Adobe U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2.
With the first option, would I not then be forced to proof on 60# Monterey
Gloss? With the 2nd option, wouldn't I be able to proof on any stock and
have the ICC conversion simulate the correct paper white? But then I could
see that there may issues with the black channel getting altered durring the
conversion.
Basically, I'm just trying to get some feedback on the best way to go about
making TR001/SWOP compliant proofs on this device and the caveats that go
along with it.
Thanks
