Chris and Roger, Would it not be best to profile a CMYK device, such
as a laser printer, in CMYK? Doesn't that eliminate one extra
conversion?
What I still don't know is what happens with a PostScript device that
has a PPD claiming CMYK as the default mode for the device. Does
ColorSync do a mode change behind the scenes (i.e. RGB to CMYK)? Or
does ColorSync only do a color space conversion (i.e. RGB to RGB, and
CMYK to CMYK). If the latter, that might explain why Uli's printer (and
so many other PostScript based printers I've seen), have both an RGB
and CMYK place holder in the ColorSync Utility for that device. Why the
system might be designed this way I don't know, and don't care to
speculate.
We need more information.
