We'd have to have some sort of level playing field , and our studio doesn't use one 'standard' FOGRA 27L profile. We vary black generation to suit the image we're going to separate ( and wouldn't normally run to 100% black as per the ECI profiles). We are also not averse to exceeding certain theoretical ink limits on some types of image.And we also generate profiles using the various options available in Profilemaker to increase chroma etc. And then there is the small problem of licensing.But I'd be happy to give it a go , time permitting. In the meantime , it 's no great shakes for anybody with Profilemaker 5 and access to the internet to generate a 'generic' FOGRA 27L using the same press description as per ECI and making the comparison. Be interesting to get other peoples opinions of this. Is the visual match being made on a monitor or proof? Or Press :-) ? Also , as you of course well know , it takes loads of different types of demanding images to truly test a profile visually.We have an in house selection of really nasty ones ( and that's just the photography ! <BG> ) . Hope to see you soon at one of the various and varied meetings in London where we may be able to push this a little further. Kind regards, Bob Marchant
