Dear Bob
Well , here's the big question . Are you talking about a real contract proof ? The kind where you , as a company , guarantee it's accuracy for repro , with the subsequent liability for any claims should the proof be innaccurate ?
Is this really a fair question? A contract proof is only such if both parties, the one asking for a print run to match it and the party expected to do this if they both accept that it is the standard to match...that's what a contract proof is, be it on loo paper on a John Bull printing outfit or a Fuji Final Proofing system.
No supplier could be expected to give the assurances you are asking Philip's outfit to provide surely?
Inaccurate in what way? Ask a dozen pre-press companies to proof a job on the same proofing systems or different ones and I bet you will get a dozen different results to look at...so which is the right one now?
If this is the case , I would go to a company who were extremely well versed in colour proofing and understood the implications of supplying proper contract proofs. Oh , and of course the ability to settle any dispute with a third party either technically or financially.
Pie in the sky I would say to the last sentence<G>
