in this article was YET. If such printers are available I've yet to hear about them and I'd surely like to. More important would be tests from these printers to see of the EYE can tell the difference. Remember RGB 1998 with all that info shows up poorly over the web simply because the web is optimized for sRGB. I'll just bet that once a file is optimized for which ever printer it won't matter a hoot which standard was used.
Never the less, it's a personal choice and I can't fault your reasoning. As a hobbyiest or small business it probably makes little difference the extra time spent doing these conversions. But when computer time and PS tech cost from $20 to $50 and hour it adds up. As Long as the processor asks for sRGB that's what we'll give them and since time is money we just can't justify doing it any other way. Moreover for us we've found that rarely do we go back to reproduce old images. Make that very, very, rarely. Heck I'm wondering if in ten to twenty years we'll be able to read the dang files off them antique storage devices. I have thirty years of negs and the only ones that will ever see the light of day are family things. If that. . .
I've got this gut feeling that this is much ado about not much. 'course, to coin a phrase . . .that's just my opinion, I could be wrong.
