We have Prinergy Connect Version 5 workflow. We currently use the colour settings shown in attached file (Current.pdf) which converts CMYK images and graphics from ISOcoated_v2_eci.icc to ISOcoated_v2_300_eci.icc. This is mainly done to control TAC (also saves us on average 3% ink usage).
What we are looking to do is change this setting as can be seen in attached file (Proposed.pdf) so that we convert images and graphics from ISOcoated_v2_eci.icc to coated_FOGRA39_GCR_bas.icc. I have tested this through the workflow and got as far as proofing but not had the opportunity to run press tests yet. We are seeing an average ink reduction of 10.5% which we are very happy with as it does not involve any financial outlay which is out of the question at the moment. We have visually compared the proofs, and measured lab values in certain of the files and are very encouraged, but I feel we are missing something as this seems to easy?
We would only carry this out on selected PDFs that we know have been created to our usual spec (generally PDFx-1a with an ISOcoated_v2_eci.icc output intent) so in my understanding the conversion should be OK. Is this the case?
Also other elements are not affected (text, frames and fills,etc....)
One more quick question, I believe the ISOcoated_v2_300_eci.icc profile has some sort of GCR in it but I cant find the details on this do you know?
Thank you for taking the time to read this
