Hello list,
I have customers creating data for heatset printing and also heatset
printers producing on white SC-paper according guidelines ISO 12647 /
PSO / MediaStandard Print.
The reference FOGRA40 / SC_paper_eci.icc represents a yellowish
paperstock which do not fit white SC-papers.
For doing prepress work and proofing, data creators and printer could
either agree
1) on a inhouse standard based on an edited SC_paper_eci.icc profile,
2) or they could use FOGRA41 / PSO_MFC_Paper_eci.icc instead.
I currently recommend to my customers solution 2 because:
- The gamut of FOGRA40 and FOGRA41 are quite comparable, but the
whitepoint of FOGRA41 fits better the whitepoint of white SC-papers
- FOGRA41 / PSO_MFC_Paper_eci is an international reference, which could
easily implemented by different prepress-data creators and printers. An
edited SC_paper_eci.icc profile is always an inhouse standard
- FOGRA41 is out of the box integrated in solutions for proofing and
proof control, an edited SC_paper_eci.icc profile not.
- The separation-table of the PSO_MFC_Paper_eci profile reflects the
white-point of the standard. If the profile SC_paper_eci will be edited
for a cooler whitepoint, this will not change the separation-table still
reflecting the yellowish paperwhite of this reference.
My question:
Is there anybody out there, who agrees or disagrees for using FOGRA41 /
PSO_MFC_Paper_eci as reference for white SC papers in heatset printing ?
Regards
Jan-Peter
