CMYK is still tought of as THE reference color space by printers of all
kinds. Why? Because the CMYK numbers appear tangible to anyone whereas the
RGB numbers are still not well understood by the majority, let alone the
passage from RGB to CMYK or CMYK to RGB. So, that this printers resented
the idea of going back to RGB for correcting the problem is symptomatic of
the fears widespread in prepress that there is something inherently evil
about RGB.
I, too, always send sRGB files when sending RGB data -- never AdobeRGB! But
that's my bias.
