Tyler,

I expected that.  At least an RGB printer profile has to many 
limitations for it or you must have a permission to get into the 
guts of IP to create the right environment. The Wasatch SoftRip 
allows it too as it has an RGB device mode but in both cases it 
is in fact a CMYK printer profile creation in two steps.

So even for CMYK printer profiles it doesn't work ?
