GCR color shifts

[meddington]

The only reason I know of for any conversion from CMYK to RGB is if the supporting software does not support device link conversions. This is an issue, which is why I suggested a method of conversion that allows the user to use software at hand that may not support device link conversions but will still meet their needs.

Why not convert from cmyk to cmyk (non dvl) without adding an RGB step in those situations? For a straight in&out conversion, the RGB step adds no value.

Might work I never do it but a test could prove if it is supported by the software.

The qustion that keeps popping into my head is that is a workflow requires such a radical GCR why don't they simply supply the destination profile in the first place? Or just use a DV conversion prior to proofing? After all they're the one with the weird spec.
