Here's a screenshot. Also link for download of 1 page, for lookie.

This is a repeat job, mad rush each time, and depends whether they've moved up the win-table.

Dezinger seems a good guy, but confessed to actually using a different ICC profile this time; as supplied by a big magazine publisher.

Got caught unawares, but due to the nature of the program and the stock, the pressman didn't even realise if was 4 col type, so no 'consequensces'.

There's been some to and fro with him to do a post mortem on it. I sent him our JobOptions and he managed to Export 100K type. 
Previously, he said his Swatch showed 100K, though he was obviously Exporting 4 colour.

Prior to his re-doing it with our JobOptions, I'd stripped the ICC off in PitStop, but that didn't fix it (it sometimes does).

What's at play? Was it his settings in Export dialogue box.

And what's the go with that Profile? Anyone encountered it?

It is because of his settings at export under the Output tab.

Why would he decide to use a profile from another publisher? Another example of people messing with color management that have no idea what they are doing.

I wish people stop trying to "help" their printer. :hangme:

Yeah, had to be the Export settings, as when he installed our JobOptions, ---> 100K type.

People don't get training in this stuff, or inadequate training. Too dull and boring, hey?

But this guy makes the effort and will learn from it. "Always look on the bright...side of life..."  (Best Eric Idle voice)

Thanks for confirming.

Small text uses more than 1 colorant should be added to the following:

Acrobat Pro and Enfocus (or Callas or Markzware) should pick this sort of thing up using appropriate settings.

We have that as part of the Ghent Workgroup PDF preflight profiles.
We have it for text and thin lines if memory serves. the size values for 1 colorant and more than 1 colorant are different depending on the variant
