Hello dear contributors,
just received a contribution from IKEA that I am asked to share:

Betreff: ISO standard values
Hi Juergen,
As you know we are following the ongoing work within FOGRA since it has a big impact on
our production of the IKEA Catalogue as well as our other printed publications. Can you
please forward our input to the relevant stakeholders and/or post my e-mail with my
signature on the relevant lists?
With the Fred15 project, ECI is actually providing material to test new characterization
data that is based on the new version of ISO12647-2. When we look at the characterization
data and ICC-profiles on the Fred15-page we can see versions that are namely spot-on with
the values in the ISO-paper and others (FOGRA..beta) that are "optimized for slightly
increased amount of optical brightener agents" which means that they are more blue
with their description of the substrate color than the spot-on data.
Here is our comment based on our experience through the years:
For IKEA it is crucial with the accuracy of colour communication. We started many years
ago to adjust our data and proofs apart from the actual standards, like FOGRA39. This was
because the Fogra39 based proofs were not close enough with the typical printing papers
that we are using when printing our covers of IKEA Catalogues and other printed
publications. Since 1,5 half year our proofing has been adapted to the actualized
normlight conditions and that the adjustment was to become significantly more bluish.
We can't see this color shift covered enough with the actual ISO 12647-2 spot-on
values. We would much prefer if the final characterization data and ICC-profiles that are
going to be provided to the market would be more similar to what is actually used by IKEA
as well as many other print buyers. Typically we have to match a higher amount of optical
brightener agents in the printing papers than what the spot-on data describes.
