I was going to see if a DeviceLink profile would do better since the
RIP accepts them, but the DL profile I created was 8 megs and I had
no way of transferring the file to the PC while I was there.
Use Steve Upton's ColorThink, the stuff you are using is obviously broken.
Be aware that if you feed PostScript pages into the device link, all
the objects on the page must be in the color space you chose as the
source when building the device link profile. Whether that color
space is ColorMatchRGB.ICC or MyGlossyPosISO.ICC doesn't matter, just
as long as it's the same for all objects.
I know the profiles are good because I can turn them off in the RIP
and do a Profile to Profile in Photoshop and then output to the Kodak
with good results.
There were (and are?) reports of problems with the implementation in
Harlequin RIPs. You should not color manage in the RIP, use an ICC
color server that encodes the device color specification, or
cross-render in a layout or other application that does this. Then
your results are reproducible across applications every time.
