Maybe it is easy. I have never done it.
For print i've worked by learning how my software and screen works with
the printer i have, then handing over my work to the photolithographist
if put in offset production. In pantone cases, i use black and white +/-
look-a-likeish color. Client is referred to pantone and paper catalog.
But most of the times it will go to a giant lazerprinter that read pdf
pretty good. For digitally displayed graphics, i check with all the
different devices i can.

But truth is haven't been in an offset power-plant since pre 2010, and i
realize much must have happened with the technology. :)

I hope this discussion develops and turns into nice documentation. about it.

calibration party. :D
