In general the best strategy is to make the press behave as much as possible in line with ISO aim values. If your dot gain is too high , bring it down to the ISO aim values by using plate curves (should be easily done with most RIPs out there).

We made testprints with pressprofile targets with linear plates and the DG was about 18%@40. Then we make the pressprofile and in the processed PDFs the DG is 14% and with right colors. We will not get that close to Fogra39 if we only use curves in the CTP. Greybalance etc is tack on. (The press-profile compensates for the characteristics of our presses/ink/etc.) You cant achive that with curves?

Maybe your ink/press/etc is more "ISO-like" then ours?
