I have a print vendor, in the Far East, that has suggested we use FOGRA39 for coated stock and either FOGRA47 or FOGRA52 for uncoated. Based on this request, I have a few questions:
1) where can i download the FOGRA47 and FOGRA52 profiles? I did some searching and could only find characteristics for 47, but no actual profiles.
2) the vendor also went on to say that their Total Ink Limit is 320 for coated and 280 for uncoated. FOGRA39 has a total ink limit of 350, so how can they request 320?
3) while searching for profiles I found specs for FOGRA47 and FOGRA47L, what is the L profile?
I've always been confused regarding FOGRA, mainly because of the high total ink limit. Our main repro house, also in the Far East, uses ISO Coated VS 300% (ECI). Is that a modified version of FOGRA39?
Many thanks in advance for any feedback.

Re: Color Profile ISO Coated V2 (ECI) « Reply #1 on: May 19, 2016, 09:55:07 pm » you have to put the desired profile into the directory for color profiles in your os. The eci profiles aren't part of the scribus installation. Select 'Profile' and in the drop-down menu select 'U.S. Web Coated (SWOP) v2 Adobe InDesign There is no need to convert your InDesign document to CMYK or to set a color mode when creating the file. Which CMYK Profile Should I Use? 'ISO coated v2 300% (ECI)' with a reduced TAC of 300% for web offset printing on whiter web offset papers.
