Thanks everyone for the replies so far. I am not trying to test the
necessity of a white border on the soft-proof (I already know it's
necessary) or to model it (I've read papers on building models to adjust
for surround). What I am looking for is a plain-English description of the
problem for the lay person, to try and help them understand why it's
important. Preferably this description will be on a .org site and have some
confidence of longevity for the link!
Anyhow, thanks for the comments. At least now some of you may be aware of a
practice that you weren't aware of before, even if I can't find a new link.
:)
