It is different.
As most people (in Europe) are used to using FOGRA39, the 51 experience is very
different.
What you see on screen is not what you’re going to get. And it doesn’t matter
whether you use perceptual or relative in Photoshop, those light, white skin
tones don’t have enough yellow in them..
Problems with uncoated or newsprint are usually issues with density range
expectations and clients can appreciate that images will need a bit more
intervention. This is easy to explain and fix in a pre-press workflow.
But, again, FOGRA52 is a big problem (as I’ve mentioned here before). Again the
issue is with yellow.
The ECI profile cannot be replicated from the published data. You cannot create
a viable ICC profile from this published data using either i1 Profiler or
Argyll etc.
You get CMYK separations with almost NO yellow!
It’s not unreasonable to expect that newer standards will give you better
results...
