That especially comes into consideration if there're any traps. If the graphic is, say, a red logo on black text, that ``warm black'' will work just fine with the inevitable misregistration. But if you've got some cyan mixed in there and less than 100 black, suddenly that logo becomes spotty with jagged edges, and it looks like a cheap FAX.
Right, but typically in this situation you are dealing with graphic artwork, not photographs. You probably don't want to apply a photographic type color transformation to such material, but something with the special constraints you mention, or even no transformation at all. So to re-purpose a set of separations from one press to another, ideally you want the different elements tagged so that different CMYK->CMYK transformations can be applied. Graeme Gill.
