I agree with Edmund. All this hard work to create custom profiles, or tweak
and customize existing ones, all with the goal of maximizing the amount of
printable colors we can squeeze out of the printer. And then we want to just
settle for a generic, usually smaller, color space? Seems counter intuitive
to me. Safer, yes. But for the geek in all of us that likes to push to the
limits, it's just not exciting.

If I understand rightly, you are doing the same thing which I do when
I give convert image files to sRGB for the web: Downgrading to a small
space which can always be mapped, in the interests of universal
compatibility. And you've given up on the idea of pushing out your own
profiles because you cannot enforce more than the simplest settings on
your user base. Am I the only one here to think that this is
unavoidable but also horrible ? How can such a workflow take advantage
of better quality print channels such as the hi-quality glossy fashion
magazines ?
