I will be using Monaco Profiler Platinum v4.8 and a DTP70 to read and profile the IT8.7/4.
I'll have them print one of the G7 forms with images and targets. Is this what you meant by more than just a IT8.7/4 target?
Also, when creating the the profile from their proofing device. Any suggestions on Ink Control settings?
I will be measuring from an ink jet proof but the files have some kind of color separations with UCR or GCR.
Should I leave the Ink Control settings on InkJet? Or should I try to guess at what UCR/GCR settings they used. I could assume they used the SWOPv2 settings.
From the looks of the separations, they look like SWOPv2 UCR.

yes, but you need a sophisticated profiling tool and maybe more than
just a IT8.7/4 target.
