The error here is they will be profiling your test chart when they print it
and then profiling your real data when you send it. Plus you never have any
real control over the device. What happens when they have it repaired the
printer or decide to use third party inks? They aren't going to tell you and
you get garbage prints back.
The proper way to do this is to follow their rules and send them sRBG data.
If you don't like the output (because maybe they don't have right on
profiles) go to another provider.
