Actually it works just fine, but the poster is correct that you need
to start from a "do nothing" RGB output profile. These are harder to
come by than one might think. Also, unless it was built from the
inkset/paper you are using it will not preview. There are other tricks
to make it preview but they are complex.
Colorvision does have restrictions about profile distribution, and
would have to be contacted to make special arrangements.
