Open the testchart in Photoshop, assign the profile you've just built, and
convert it to Lab. Get the Lab values, somehow*, into a text file that
MeasureTool can read-this is measurement file 2.
*somehow, for me right now, is doing it by hand. In the past, GMB's
ColorLab has worked, but it isn't working right now. ColorThink may be
able to do it. You can get someone to write a script that will do it. You
can pester Steve Upton to ship ColorThink Pro. I'm open to any other
rational suggestions!
Print the Lab file from Photoshop, using Lab as source space, and the
profile you created as Print Space.
Measure this print to get measurement file 3.
You're correct that the display profile is out of the reproduction loop-it
doesn't affect anything except the display.

Thanks for the help you guys ,you've helped set me straight on a few
things. Everytime I set out to get color management workflow set up,
something always comes along to get me sidetracked, but every time I come
back to it (which is to say, when we get a color critical job in house,
which is happening more and more frequently) , I always know a little more
more than I did last time. As a smaller shop, its all up to me to get this
figured out.
I converted the image after assigning the profile, to lab, and I noticed,
that I get a 100, 1, and 1 for the numbers in my white areas of the target,
which translates in my Rip and screening to a .8 percent dot in M and
Y. Is this due to an error in the profile? This is on my proofer, btw.
Also, how much optical brightener must be in a paper for the option to be
enabled in Profilemaker? I assume a lot, as the paper I'm using in this
case is 100# Kromekote, and it seems to have a lot under the UV light, and
yet according to the docs, the option is turned on automatically when
Profilemaker detects a large response in the blue end. Correct?
