This is _not_ how the technology in fact works. Even if all your CMYK
is _correct_ in a PostScript or PDF document, applying an ICC device
link or a proprietary device link will convert the whole thing all over
again.
The printing industry is under the illusion that it can step into the
ICC world using a simple 1D adjustment for black in a device link,
adjusting the dynamic range of the incoming CMYK data for the intended
printing condition.
The above places device links in their proper implementation
perspective. Not only are they not deployed in their proper
implementation perspective, but capabilities are ascribed to them which
they cannot conceivably accomplish.

Of course, that standard is called ECI-RGB which is all the Photoshop
folks should be delivering. If they want to do professional typography
and professional print publishing with correct separations for
PostScript and PDF, let them get a proper Adobe PostScript 3
interpreter for proofing and manage their colors where colors are
intended to be managed, that is, in Adobe InDesign 3.
Thanks,
Henrik
