ICC device links have always worked as described in this and other past
threads. They worked the same when the iQueue documentation was
published with the first release in 2001. The way ICC device links have
been defined from the beginning has nothing to do with PDF/X-3 which is
a later addition to the PDF family of formats. To the extent that there
is symbiosis it is that if PDF/X-3 is used as intended, then all CMYK
will by definition be correct CMYK, and when all CMYK is correct CMYK
one can apply a conversion say to the rasterized data to save the time
for rerasterization (ROOM, rip once output many). You might want to do
this when a job has been rasterized for offset and you want to move it
to higher volume rotogravure, but device links cannot conceivably do
the wildly exciting things they are increasingly claimed to be capable
of doing for upstream job preparation.
Thanks,
Henrik
