Roger,
Forgive me, but I am having trouble interpreting what you mean. Are you
saying that the only PANTONE colors you can print via the Spot Color
function within a color-managed queue in the Best ColorProof RIP are the
ones that fall within the measured and profiled CMYK space?
That would mean that, although the device is physically capable of printing
a whole range of colors which fall OUTSIDE the profiled space for CMYK
proofing, it cannot be done because the queue will not generate colors that
are outside of it.
To me, that seems debatable, at my current level of knowledge of the Best
RIP. My impression is that the Spot Color function accesses the whole color
space of the device, inside and outside that described in the CMYK profile.
Do you know for a fact that it is not so?
Best regards.

Thank you for bearing with me, Roberto.
Marco,
There are no special trickery for treating line colors that you know are
outside the CMYK range. You supply them as Lab like you do with any other
colors (line or CT) and you get what your device is physically capable of!
