Yes. Create a profile for their device and convert the RGB data of your
Working Space into the Lambda output space. Then tell them under no
circumstance to alter the file one bit!!! It may look awful on their
computer (because I suspect these guys are clueless).
Be aware that IF they change the behavior of their device in any way, the
profile you made is hosed!
So you will not just be tagging the file with the Lambda output profile, you
will be converting all the pixels in the file to be optimized for the Lambda
using the output profile.
