Agree, no reason to disallow either type. It is very useful to have the CMYK support there, not least because DeviceCMYK support is guaranteed :)<div><div><br></div><div>Edmund<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, May 17, 2011 at 11:46 PM, Alastair M.

So far I had no problems to print out Cmyk targets. One can use Scribus,<br>

There are advantages to both types of profile, but I see no reason to disallow either type. If neither type is disallowed, why does it matter that you'd prefer to use CMYK and I'd prefer to use RGB?<br>
<br>
The Poppler-based pdftoraster can already handle both colorspaces (though CMYK support is a bit of a hack, that involves Poppler crunching everything down to a flat RGB image, then pdftoraster converts it to CMYK using profiles. This is necessary because Poppler itself - as built in all current distros - can't output CMYK.)<br>
I'd be very surprised if the Ghostscript-based analogue wasn't equally flexible, if not more so.<div class="im"><br>

All the best<br>
