[Openicc] [argyllcms] Re: CC Profiles In X Specification and dispwin

[edmund ronald]

Ink limitation, ink curves and linearization need to be exposed to
those doing the profiling since all of the above vary with the medium
being profiled. A good target -as always with open source products-
would be to reproduce a simplified but robust version of the tools
available with a commercial RIP. I'm sure that if the tools to adjust
settings were properly exposed, software tools ie. GUI interfaces for
adjusting ink curves would appear in short noticed, followed by
end-user profiles. In particular, I myself own several scanning XY
spectros and would be delighted to generate printer profiles,
especially as the resulting publicity would doubtless bring me
end-user business in due course.
