PressReady has fixed color intents for conversions, and uses canned ICC
proflies for the inkjets it supports, but allows inmporting of custom ICC
profiles for the presses emulated. Custom profiles for the inkjet can be
hacked in, but only with a bit of special knowledge; conversions will still
be of fixed intent. If press proofing is not your aim (or if you want full
control of press proofing), then setting the print color control panel's CMYK
setting to undefined will turn all that stuff off, and allow you to control
it all yourself with your won profiles from savvy applications like
Photoshop, or with a color server like ICC AutoFlow.
