Well, first of all, you can do all the color management you want on your end, but if your printers say things like “swop coated is fine” then your workflow is a deadend. It’s like ballroom dancing with a mannequin.

Second, you can’t get accurate proofs of many spot colors (e.g. many Pantone colors). It cannot be done on a desktop printer and isn’t worth worrying about. If you’re printing a CMYK job (such as on a digital press), then you want to use CMYK colors, not spot colors.
