I agree that you need to give the customer the curves to calibrate their proofer to your press, otherwise you will be chasing your tail. I know this happens to some and has happened to me, you get a printout off of the customers laser printer, the one they use to write to Aunt Mable or something and they expect you to match that. Their printer has not been calibrated and as was mentioned earlier, if it does not have a control strip, it is not a proof. It may be a sample or something else whatever you want to call it but it is not a press quality proof.

In short the provider of the proof has to have their proofer calibrated and the printer needs to know what the curves are to match.
