Fair enough, Doug. I was suggesting using their profiles for softproofing, 
not converting your files.
With my own printer set up to soft proof the paper I use and profiled with 
my printer, a quick "ctrl y" shows me the soft proof. But
of course, whatever system you are happy with. Just suggestions from me.
Cheers

This is how West Coast Imaging (WCi) used to work.  Now that the have their
own printer (Durst Lambda IIRC along with Epson 9600) they'd rather the
files be left in the working color space, i.e., Adobe RGB or EktaSpace
whatever and allow their software to apply the profile for the paper and
printer.  My results have been very consistent across a number of printers
and labs (and my own printer with a custom profile), once I learned to
trust my eyeballs.
