Agreed.
I think it’s best to think of ‘idealized’ in this case as an ideal, optimized press run simulation rather than an ideal printing condition.
I think that’s what many people mean when they use this term though that’s not necessarily clear.
The idea is to have the reference condition describe *obtainable* and *repeatable* printing.
- obtainable in so far as a good quality press configured correctly and using the correct inks and substrates should be able to hit the same condition
- repeatable in so far as the results can be repeated by an industry practitioner (as in obtainable above) AND that it’s a reasonable press condition that is stable within jobs as well as between jobs.
regards,
Steve
