Hi Jan-Peter, Can you elaborate on what you refer as the "proper color server"? From the look of things, we have to say goodbye to Adobe Photoshop as a conversion and soft proofing tool. What additional functionality in a color server makes it a proper conversion tool?

The range of paper colors for different paper types expanded massive into the blueish area because of higher activation of optical brighteners in differnt papers. Before M1, the range of paper white for the standard profiles provided both by FOGRA and GRACoL has been from b* -2 to b*1 for the majority of papers. Especially for for FOGRA39 acting as an standard profile - but also for most other profiles, users got an acceptable match from monitor to proof to press (old lightning), when seperation in Photoshop / InDesign is relative colorimetric with BPC, no paper simulation for softproofing and a proof on a FOGRA39 compatible proof media. This colormanagement workflow - which still satisfied majority of users - is history (looking from a standards perspective). A separation with Relcol +BPC with FOGRA51 does not deliver a proper match RGB-image - CMYK image - proof on FOGRA51 "compliant" proof media. There are solution using perceptual colormatching, paperwhite simulation on in Photoshop and lightbooth for proofs with new reference lightning. But these are mor for specialists and for the broad majority of users... Currently, the standards community (FOGRA, ECI, Idealliance etc. ...) has not convinced both the majority of its users base as also Adobe to replace FOGRA39 with FOGRA51 as a standard color setting in Adobe CC. I still doubt, that this makes sense. We may should promote still FOGRA39 (or similar) as an standard color setting and exchange space for the majority of graphic arts users and color servers at the printing house for optimization according the papertype / printing standard. (This includes both PDF/X-4 wuth RGB images and FOGRA39 output intent or FOGRA39 CMYKonly data...) We also should consider, that the majority of print jobs is printed without proofs today. If standard users would send FOGRA39 data and asks for a proof on coated paper, his data would be converted to FOGRA51 with a proper color server and he would get a FOGRA51 proof. If a user still wants to work directly in FOGRA51, the standard community should inform these users, that they should not use their color setting standard setting RelCol+BPC and that they should work on the level of prepress specialist concerning monitor calibration and proofing. If not, they should deliver FOGRA39 and let the printer or the prepress specialist do the job.
