OK.

You don't say how the RGB PS was generated: as RGB composite or CMYK
composite?

How are you checking the quality of the conversion? IOW, how are you making
sure that PosterShop actually honors the embedded profile?

You mean color is different as compared with dropping the RGB tiff in the
queue, right? If that's the case, then you have to look at how the page
layout programs "package" the RGB tiff. Do you have QuarkCMS turned on? Have
you enable Color Management in IDCS? If I were you I'd first try to
establish Photoshop as my base of reference. I once noticed how Postershop
v5.6 was converting RGB to some CMYK profile differently than from
Photoshop. Don't know if that's still the case in v6. Postershop is using
the LogoCMM.

What do you mean no luck?

What am I doing wrong?
Hard to say directly.

Is there a cheat sheet on doing this somewhere?
Not that I'm aware of. You need to find out more from Onyx. If only they
supported device link profiles...

Will it ever work?
Yes. If you adopt a CMYK to CMYK workflow. Use IDCS to convert from RGB to
TR-001. And use Onyx to convert from TR-001 to your inkjet custom CMYK
profile. That's one valid way to go about it.

I don't recall specifically.

Would using a file format other than tif work better?
Nah.
