These guys like papers with high OBAs!
I loaded the Blurb ICC profile from their site into ColorPicker and the worst dE 2000 report for just paper was for Proline Uncoated with a dE of 3.8. Standard had the lowest dE at 1.2 with the others in the three’s.

Next step: If you can rely on a Blurb workflow that always uses the same Indigo and paper source it may be a good idea to send a book file with profiling targets and create your own profile when it gets back. The same detour that was needed for Mac/Adobe/Epson target printing can be used I guess. I did see a message that said the Blurb gamut is actually larger than sRGB and advised to use AdobeRGB. Never tried Blurb but thinking about it. -- Met vriendelijke groet, Ernst Dinkla Grafische Techniek Quad, piëzografie, giclée www.pigment-print.com
