Hi Michael!
What if ask the ProofMaster should the RIP support standard ICC Device Links? 
If it should, just ask them to resolve the problem. I hope that ArgyllCMS 
profiles are standard, so they should be supported by RIP.
If the answer of ProofMaster will be: "No, It shouldn't. It supports only our 
proprietary device-links" You had to by the option or reverse engineering and 
fake RIP's proprietary device links (it may be illegal in the terms of RIP 
license).
