I am designer and I am confusion what i keep right setting of Color Management for Offset Printing Purpose.
Settings are different according country / region, paper, etc. There's not one universal color setting for all jobs.
I use "Europe Prepress" as base, then i change grayscale dot gain to 10% and Intent Rendering to Perceptual.
On the CMYK I use ISOCoated v2 for coated papers (glossy or matte), ISO Coated v2 300 for limit INK coverage, ISO Coated v2 Yellowish for "common" paper (such as photocopy paper), etc. btw those settings work if the output will use similar profiles, if not it's better to ask what setting they use
First I would like to say to thanks for your good reply.
Can you please tell what the BASIC setting i use for Offset Printing. If I sent my file to number of different Printing Press than output comes such as i see on my desktop.
Make sure that you have soft proofing set up and activated for CMYK work
Sir, What is soft proofing set up ???? please tell.

1 - Window menu / dockers / color proof settings, for choose your options and
2 - enable the icon at the bottom right
Anyway, this option provides a better view according with the color settings you choose. But you can't use what you see as reference, unless you have a calibrated monitor and graphics card.
Under the help menu search color management most if not all you're looking for is there
Thanks Ariel
