Hmmmm, that's rather worrying actually. Is there no "escape hatch" of
any kind to ensure that, for instance, pure-black items don't get
converted to a rich black by being run through a needless conversion?
Profiling is far from the only situation where I need a printer to
receive the *exact* CMYK value I specified in the application, and not
some other CMYK combination that, in theory, amounts to the same thing.
All the best
