Nice.

Oh good. Then this supports my thesis further : the printer did not have to
discard the embedded profile as that action has aboslutely no effect on the
dot percentages readings in the Info palette. Perhaps the printer knew what
he was doing when he did discard the embedded profile but a color-conscious
printer (read ICC-aware) would not have done it.

Yes, it's that "you-are-wrong" attitude.

Yup. Seems that's the only way to deal with these ignorant printers. Hey,
they even will have more respect for you that way, isn't that crazy?
