Before you customize the GCR in the file, you must know that both the color
space and the the separation are correct for the intended output. But how do
you know the correct color space and kind of separation for the intended
output if you leave it to the prepress people to take your color numbers and
apply them in unknown ways to the output, which could include reseparation
as well, no matter whether your files are tagged or not?
