Color management and soft proofing
#4
Quote:....-printer profile is used only for soft-proofing in GIMP, to show out-of-gamut areas, but GIMP can't specify any printer profiles for use in printing. This is done directly in the printer driver. I hope I got it right...[

If you specify a profile something.icc for soft proofing then export as a tiff, there is an option to save the profile.
As far as I know, that works and is used for printing.

   

I can check using Imagemagick command line magick -identify verbose filename.tiff

Which might include a section like this

Code:
Profiles:
   Profile-icc: 2747952 bytes
 Properties:
   date:create: 2025-04-13T08:02:11+00:00
   date:modify: 2025-04-13T08:02:11+00:00
   date:timestamp: 2025-04-13T10:30:15+00:00
