Hello Gerhard,
thanx again for the clarifying help. I omitted the -x flag, that's why it didn't work.
Now erverything works better than I expected. Only -ip yields a very muddy yellow for
RGB 0 255 255. (about 12 % C, 83%Y). although Photoshop ACE gives 1% C, 83%Y for perceptual intent.
Using -ila or -ir yields just about the same like PS for Yellow. This is much more pleasing for printing business
graphics like out of office programs.
Regards
Thomas

Thank you for the quick reply. I get your thougt for the first step
when you create the device link, this one is not usable for icc2ps -right?
    

Yes.

  
Then you use icclink from lcms which does n o t create a device link,
instead it creates a kind of smelted profile out of the formerly
created device link and again the RGB input profile.
    

Lcms' icclink has an option "-x" to tag a generated CIELAB -> CMYK (or
RGB) device link not as device link profile but as output profile (which
is of course just a "castrated" output profile, containing only a B2A
table, but no A2B table - but this is sufficient ot make icc2ps happy).

  
So the conversion chain amounts to RGB > RGB > CMYK, where RGB > RGB
ideally should not change the result. Did I get your idea right or is
there a mistake in my thoughts?
    

The transformation of the resulting output profile is eventually CIELAB
-> RGB -> CMYK (but the RGB intermediate step is hidden).

E.g.

$ argyll_icclink -f -kx -G -ip sRGB.icm ISOcoated.icc link.icc
$ lcms_icclink -x -o output.icc -t1 -c2 *Lab sRGB.icm link.icc
$ icc2ps -o output.icc > ISOcoated_K_only_CRD.ps

Regards,
Gerhard
