Wan't clear to me but I'm still game. I produced all my output profiles from
IP using RGB profiles. That's what the RIP is intended for.

Bunk! Rendering intents alone is not the way to produce the best output. IF
you are in a workflow where you have no options but to convert and print,
fine. But if you think a profile alone and the right option of a rendering
intent is going to produce the best reproduction, you're dead wrong. I said
it once and I'll say it again. The profile knows NOTHING about the image. If
you really believe that one size fits all for conversions, we are in serious
disagreement on getting the best color from files.

I never said anything about lousy profiles. Even with the best profiles,
image tweaking is necessary for the best quality print.

It's not close enough for me. I don't trust it.

Neither does Photoshop if setup as I suggested (and it matches IP closer but
still not close enough). Print to screen matching in Photoshop is closer.
That's the bottom line.
