Hallo Marti, I tried it. It does something, but in the end the data looks complete different than using the same profiles with the "jpegicc.exe". With "jpegicc.exe" I used the printer.icm and the proofer.icm directly! With "icc2ps.exe" I used your Idea!
I will play arround with it this evening and look what happens if I print out on a Inkjet-Printer.
