Understood. That's why I was contemplating simply letting the RIPs in this
case assume a different source profile. I KNOW the colors will be whacked
and oversaturated, but who am I say that's not what they want? Again, all I
can do is SUGGEST a proper RGB workflow and try to explain the pitfalls of
lying, cheating and stealing.
The question is, will I burn in color management hell if I get this to work
for them? Can I be forgiven later?
