According to ColorByte (John specifically) this is exactly what to do. Plus
I've found that when I output my target using this setup, but change the
paper profile, I get an identical print (I've even measured them). So the
paper profile isn't doing a thing when you have an untagged file in the RIP
and the Bitmap popup set to none. Bottom line is I've produced to fantastic
custom profiles this way (Luster and Ehhanced Matt).

If you set the IP profiles in Photoshop's soft proof (after running profile
first aid on them so they show up), and you pick paper white/ink black, you
get somewhat close but it's never been identical. I sat down with John at
ColorByte and we set both applications and didn't get an exact match. The
difference is apparent (IP previews darker). I don't trust what I see in the
soft proof.

I don't know what EXIF data has a thing to do with preview accuracy. BTW.,
Photoshop reads the data exactly as it's presented. There's nothing wrong
with how Photoshop reports an sRGB tag that happens to be in the camera
file.
All the other ICC savvy applications I have match Photoshop. I can open a
scan in FlexColor (Imacon's scanner/camera driver) and it's preview is 99%
match of Photoshops. IP is 80% at best. Frankly I'm not too concerned
because I don't print out anything I haven't soft proofed or edited in
Photoshop and I wouldn't touch the IP image processing tools with a 10 foot
pole.
