I know the profiles are good because I can turn them off in the RIP

Does anyone know what's going on here?

Hi Glenn
As Proofing-Solutions with Harlequin are growing in Germany, I am interested to analyze the problem. So
please give us some more information:
- What is the product and the version No of the proofing RIP. ?
- What is the Version No. of the Harlequin CMM Engine ?
- Which program / Version No. you used to make the source and destination profiles ?
- What are the Lab-Values for the Whitepoints in Source and destination profile ?
- Which Intent gives in Photoshop Profile to Profile the same result like the proofer ?
- Which program you used to edit the destination profile ?
- Wich corrections you did exactly ?
- In which part of the profile you rendered the corrections ?
- Do you tried to make the corrections in the input profile ?
(If Yes, do you have the same results ?)
With this informations, all the color-detectives of this list will be better able to solve this
problem.
Greetings from Berlin
