I'm interested in this, because I'm considering getting a RIP. What do you
mean by not being able to get a neutral print with a profile? Does IP not
use a conventional ICC profile to translate Lab to whatever it needs
internally? If not, does that mean that you have to use some built-in tool
for "profiling", rather than some 3rd party product like ProfilerPro?
