95% of our work is portraits printed in RGB (Kodak LED).
In the past we have used Adobe 98 knowing that it has a fairly wide
colorspace but upon printing, we end up with much too saturated colors.
Blues tend to go neon and reds become overly red.
Your problem is not the source RGB space but the destination printer
space, or rather the gamut mapping done by the destination printer
profile.
You should be using an industry standard print profiling application
for the output.
If you are going to presses, you should think about switching from
Adobe RGB to eciRGB.
The downside is that eciRGB is slightly bigger than Adobe RGB, and
the bigger your working space the more problems will you have with
RGB working space to RGB monitor space previews. When you link a
print profile, then the RGB working space gamut is first compressed
by the print profile before it passes to the monitor profile, which
also reduces softproofing and proof printing issues.
