Hi Marco,
Your comments are a very good rule-of-thumb especially for ink jets and the
EFI products.
However there are exceptions and that is one of the problems with so many
rips in the market. For example last spring I had an experience with a
Xerox rip that was driving an igen and there was no off for simulations or
source and destination profiles. And I had another experience with a Creo
RIP with the same dopey set of secret handshakes that were necessary to
turn of the rip. Once I found them I could produce a profiling target and
a profile that worked correctly.
So setting a printing devices to an off position to print the widest gamut
might not always be an easy to find option.
My .02.
