It's the case when it's a device link profile i.e.; source>destination .You
should be able to open into the chosen printer or proofer set up and
visually see the screen soft proof. If you prefer convert on opening to your
desired space, although if it's it's an old profile there wouldn't be much
chance of repurposing by reverse perceptual mapping.
