Try sending seperated postscript file. I can't remember if the ColorChoice
RIP (ScanVec Amiable if I remember correctly) supports DCS 2.0 files or not.
I have had good success getting around a similar problem with DisplayMaker
XII printers and proprietary processing. Separated Postscript files get
around most of the internal processing and send the plates unaltered -
perfect for creating multi-channel profiles.
