Pantone books for CMYK and choosing correct color profile?
I am new to some of these color management issues.... Which color management profile is the BEST to use with Pantone books or should I use no color management at all? If color management is used, it needs to be set in Photoshop, Illustrator, and then InDesign as that is my final output before exporting to PDF. There are several online printers I'm evaluating to print with who use a variety of profiles: GRACo, SWOP, U.S. Sheetfed... Also, important to note, I am using the color bridge books as a more accurate reference than my monitor since it is not calibrated and since I understand that monitors are not a good match for paper output. I need to know how a CMYK color tint will turn out when it's printed and the Bridge set is what I have to reference by for now.
Any thoughts or recommendations would be much appreciated!
Thank you!
