That qualifies as an understatement. The profile you sent me way unopenable 
in any current profile analysis software, but I did manage to get at least 
some info on its contents from a much older program. It was listed as a 
monitor profile instead of a printer profile, and as a CMYK profile (an 
interesting combinations, since I have never seen a CMYK monitor) , but best 
of all it has 710 tags in it... most profiles have less than a dozen. 
Attempting to deal with the tags was a guaranteed crash and burn scenario...

So this profile has no relationship to a legal ICC profile and is not 
intended for open ICC uses such as editing or applying within Photoshop 
(Photoshop wouldn't even list it as an available profile). So tread carefully.
