No, I am not having a laugh. I have used the LVT film recorder, the

That was why I thought you were having a laugh. Simple RGB devices are
pretty easy to colour manage and the fact that the majority of labs
are unable to offer anything better than crude closed-loop workflows
made me think that the photographic industry had a poor record in this
area.
Did you not consider that dealing with devices that use 6+ inks,
subtractive colour and different ink delivery systems might be
slightly more complicated than exposing photographic materials with a
light source (not to mention PostScript, screening, trapping and all
the other stuff that we also expect from RIPs)?
