Hi Benny,
if you can read German you might find some hints in my articles about
creating din lang folders
https://www.hasecke.eu/post/werbemittel-mit-context-gestalten/
On colors read the second part:
https://www.hasecke.eu/post/wie-wir-bei-hostsharing-mit-context-arbeiten/
Search the mailing list for color profile questions because I had to ask
often to make my things work. ;-)
The wiki contains some hints, too.
What you can do is to create a mode like this:
\startmode[fogra39]
\doiffileelse{CoatedFOGRA39.icc}{}{\farbprofilnichtgefunden}
% This will be printed in log if context does not find the profile for
% some reason
\definecolor [hs-logoblau] [c=1.000, m=0.735, y=0.279, k=0.160]
\definecolor [hs-dunkelblau] [c=0.844, m=0.544, y=0.070, k=0.000]
\definecolor [hs-hellblau] [c=0.468, m=0.220, y=0.086, k=0.002]
\definecolor [hs-orange] [c=0.127, m=0.832, y=1.000, k=0.042]
\setupcolors[cmyk=yes,rgb=no,]
\setupbackend[
format=PDF/X-3:2003,
intent={Coated FOGRA39 (ISO 12647-2:2004)},
]
\stopmode
If you call context with --mode=fogra39 you will get these color
definitions and the defined pdf format with the right profile (intent).
If you download additional icc profiles (eg. the fogra one is missing in
the context distribution) put them here:
context/tex/texmf-local/colors/icc
In this folder they won't be overwritten by an update.
There are some limitations in ConTeXt concerning colors as embedded
images are not converted, so RGB images are converted only by the print
shop during printing, which can lead to strange results. I think the
only way to control the output is to convert all images to CMYK by hand.
By doing this you can modify them to get the best results.
I hope that helps
juh
