>>I am thinking of using the following steps:
1. Have them print testchart. Create my own profile "X" with my
i1Match software.
2. Take my file, in ProRGB. Convert to X using my favorite intent (eg.
relative).
3. Tag the file (Assign) as sRGB and hand it to them.

This will only work if they *don't* convert using the color profile, otherwise your lie will cause bad color . However, if they don't convert from sRGB to something else, then the tag is not going to do anything anyways. My usual answer is to tell them to print my file exactly as I send it, without conversion (since I've already converted to the printer profile) and to ignore any screen preview they may get. This all assumes they use the RGB driver for the printer, not some PostScript RIP, if they use a RIP, that could throw a wrench in the process.
