EPS is not color converted e.g. by Quark and PageMaker. To work with EPS,
first convert into the color space of your intended printing condition in
Photoshop, and save as EPS without either ICC or PostScript Color
Management.
Then place the EPS in the layout and print the job to a color server like
iQueue or a RIP with an ICC frontend. In the color server or RIP you assign
the ICC profile for the intended printing condition to incoming CMYK
objects.
The reason you have to assign the manually tracked profile instead of
relying on forwarding of embedded profiles is that the PostScript standard
does not support the ICC profile format, so color servers and RIPs should
not look for ICC profiles in PostScript.
The fact that ICC profiles may occur in PostScript as comments comes about
because the EPS format does indeed support ICC profiles as comments as well
as Color Space Arrays as ditto. Both types of comments are faithfully
written into the PostScript stream by layout applications, however. For a
device independent full page workflow use PDF 1.3 rather than PostScript.
(There's a bit on color space specification formats in the Proof-printing
cookbook on the ColorSync home page.)
Hope this helps.
