We request that our customers supply us with untagged CMYK files. We will supply our press profile for soft proofing purposes but we are very close to SWOP standard so SWOP Standard V2 is usually sufficient. If your monitor isn't calibrated we will calibrate for you on a one time basis and suggest some calibration solutions.
We prefer that the customer sees the color that their going to get after converting from RGB to CMYK as cmyk is a smaller color space and often the customer is disapointed when those super clean RGB colors look muddier in CMYK. If we do the conversion the customer will have to pay for any additional color correction.
Our prepress system is set to automatically strip out any ICC profiles.
This system works very good for us, we run three shifts and a weekend shift running two heatset webs, lots of magazine work. We do almost no additional color correction.
