Nathan, thanks for the input. I see your point about not giving Photoshop
all of the info it needs using 'Print with Preview'. I didn't catch that at
first, but it makes sense after you mentioned it.
I tested your advice by downloading the 'Fiery ColorCopy Ppr P790 v1F'
profile from Xerox's website and set Photoshop's 'Print with Preview' to
Print Space = 'Fiery ColorCopy Ppr...'. The printed output was a match to
what I had printed with iView MediaPro.
So, if I understand this correctly...
Photoshop, by default, using just the 'File>Print' command, will ignore an
embedded profile.
Photoshop using 'File>Print with Preview' will honor an embedded profile, if
the the Source and Output profiles are correctly set manually.
iView MediaPro will honor the embedded profile.
Adobe Reader will honor an embedded profile.
It seems that Photoshop will give greater control at the sacrifice of
speed/convenience.
