Why do you convert to an Iris proofer profile and not to a destination
profile? What rendering intent?

Normal as the Iris won't reflect actual printing conditions as it's profiled
for reproducing a laminate proof printer. You've got to separate for the
press and proof the press, not a analogue film proofer probably linearised
to SWOP.

It can and can't at the same time. You need to look at the situation from a
different angle. Now you know the Iris can print out all of the gamut of
both SWOP, or Eurostandard. You know that the press gamut and
characteristics can be placed into the full capacity of the Iris. So you
want to get an appropriate press profile that represents real press
characteristics or the actual press / paper / process profile and use
absolute rendering to the Iris from this.

Don't know if it's easy but correct yes.
