Dear Thomas, Thanks for the reply. Yes, I built the profile as a RGB profile. I was wondering if I should have built it as a CMYK one? But your reply has made me think that a RGB is right in most situations I encounter. The printer does have a RIP, and can process either CMYK or RGB files. When I configure the port that is receiving files, I specify CMYK or RGB input, and then specify the colorspace for RGB files. The files that I work on are RGB, and sent through as such. I need the RGB gamut, which I understand is greater. Though how that can work like that, when it is CMYK inks being used to print, is beyond me! If a customer gives me a CMYK file to print, which I will send through as I receive it, should I then make a CMYK profile for soft- proofing?
