Uhg...one of my pet peeves. The pretty picture proof the represents nothing about how it will print. Dealing with this, we've gone as far as to request an ECI or IT8 target printed off the clients "proofer", create a profile from that and use it to perform CMYK->CMYK conversion (either traditional or device link). in order to capture the look of the "proof" while gaining some more realistic CMYK values for the print conditions. This has worked, but its not perfect. A good thing to come out of this is once you have that target from there system, you can compare it to say, TR001 data and show the client just how far off there proof is from a standard data set in delta E. It usually confuses the hell out of them, but it gets them thinking. Of course we've also gone the route of manual correction in photoshop as well. :?
