At least that's the advice of Dan M''s colortheory group. As I said there, I
don't understand why those "professionals" who operate such RIPs that can
hose a job because of an embedded profile can't learn to turn off or be
aware of unintentional CMYK conversions. There might be a valid reason. I
don't know because I never operated such a RIP, but I've owned and run a
great many of them and I never had one that I couldn't tame.
Don't we have to ask why embedded profiles work well everywhere until they
arrive in the printer's hands? The fact that Adobe caved in to pressure to
make "color management off" the default CMYK setting for PhotoshopCS is
being held up as FINAL proof that profiling doesn't work.
