Yup.

But then again, there are RelCol proofs and there are RelCol proofs. Some
clever color managers tweak their RelCol proofs extensively to look exactly
like old Matchprints, Waterproofs, Colorarts and what not (all absolute in
their appearance if they are proofed on a base that resembles the printing
stock). To them, the only thing that is not matched in their proofinf is the
actual press substrate. Everything else is an AbsCol proof, otherwise. The
same kind of hybrid approached what was mentioned in the last posts. I find
that is a lot of hard work.
