Its the simulation proof at fault... and inkjet with a good RGB profile and
one with a good CMYK profile (not used for simulation) offer nearly identical
gamuts for bright colors... the enlarged CMYK profile gamut is mostly
theoretical, from the added dark tones that the black generation adds. The
HPs are expecting the file to be in final device space, with is rather
inconvenient for files that may go to multiple output devices, especially if
any of them are RGB. A color server may be the practical answer, but adds to
the cost.
