How did you create your Lambda profile in the first instance? Presumably you
sent the lab a target to print and instructed them to turn off all colour
management, if so you could simply request them to turn off colour
management for your converted files.
The usual workflow for a Lambda is for TIFF files to be sent directly to
print via the 'Lambda RIP' 'unmanaged'. Postscript files that go via the
'Cheetah RIP' have various ICC workflow options and it is here that input
and output profiles are normally specified.
I assume that you are sending your files to the same lab that supplied the
target print from which you created your profile. If not beware! Chemistry
and paper types have a huge influence and can vary from lab to lab.
