Yep, too late at night I guess.  Same As Source for the printer (or
"back end") profile is the key that makes that workflow so easy.  It
ensures that the back end is always the same as the front end, which
is what allows us to change the screen image without changing the
print.  It's the key to getting good WYSIWYG by making the screen
match the print (as opposed to changing the print to match the screen).

Regards,
Clayton
