John,
Don't we have to ask why embedded profiles work well everywhere until
they
arrive in the printer's hands?
Most printers don'e even know they have color management capabilites in
their RIP in the first place. and those that do have to pay an extra
for it. If the want to turn color management in their RIP they really
have to go out of their way to do it.
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.
Wait. I just tossed my Photoshop CS Preferences to see this. And I'm
not sure I follow? What the program comes up with by default now is
called 'North America General Purpose Defaults". If you look at the
settings in detail, you will see that Color Management is far from
being turned off. Default RGB is sRGB. Default CMYK is TR-001. But
there is no profile mismatch warnings and preseve embedded CMYK profile
is off. So, if you create a new CMYK document, even if the profile does
not get embedded, it's still TR-001 that the user is "seeing" all along
(never mind how its monitor is calibrated or not).
But that's not proof that profiling does not work.
