The general point of all this Image print discussion was that:
If anyone's going to post helpful hints, way to do things, workflows etc.
make sure that you know what your talking about and that it applies.If you
have a new theory or a better way just make sure you don't make it sound
like its carved in stone. Especially for the guys who names are recognized
and do a lot of publishing to help further the industry. The wrong
information post are wastes of everyone's time and create a lot of heartache
to tech support and people who are new to color management.
Andrew in the last few days you have posts have created more problems, or
will create more problems than they help.
A) The way to profile ImagePrint. The way it was posted left the
possibility of a lot people getting themselves in trouble. Anyone who has
different from RGB/RGB profiling would be screwed. CMYK, Vector,
multichannel. Most people new to Color management would try profiling CMYK
because for the last few months of .... "RGB profiling is lunacy". In order
to profile Imageprint with CMYK on a new install you would have to choose a
CMYK input profile for your media profile inorder to set the color engine to
CMYK. Now who's going to believe you should put an Input profile where an
output profile should go. But that's what you would need to do.
B)"That's silly. The RIP is designed for an RGB Workflow."
I'm sure ColorByte won't have liked this comment because Todd Wellman is
having great success with CMYK profiling - and hopefully we will here about
how well Matchprint simulation and press simulation work out. Your
statements makes is sound like you should do CMYK with it.
C) Convert to Lab in Photoshop to by pass input spaces conversion(This may
not be from Andrew).
A bad idea because Bruce Lind were through all the reasons you don't want to
do this. Basically your number of unique colors goes to hell.

This color stuff is complex there are no general answers. It's hard enough
to figure out what's correct, wrong statements from people makes
it even more difficult to find the truth especially for the average enduser.
