I don't know if you do production work or fine art (the workflows for each
are significantly different). I don't like to do "blind" conversions. I want
to see what the image is going to look like long before I'm going to convert
it for print but in any number of print soft proofs. Photoshop allows me to
keep a lot of options open in this regard. I trust what it's showing me, and
what I'm getting out of my output devices match. ImagePrint to me isn't any
more than an Epson printer driver that sends good data to the printer from
Photoshop. I don't care what it looks like (and I don't really trust it) but
then I don't trust what Quark shows me either. It's fine for laying out
pages. Every print I make, and every print any of my friends or clients will
print will end up in Photoshop at some point.

Before the file undergoes the conversion, I can see this, and I can edit to
some degree for this and I can decide which rendering intent is going to do
the best conversion for the image at hand. I'm going to do it in Photoshop.

If it doesn't match Photoshop, something's wrong.
