[Openicc] GoSoC 2011: CPD and Color Management

Ann,

 I have no problem with a profile "containing" ink settings, as you
wisely recommend. In fact I consider it to a most excellent idea that
will simplify workflows, and prevent many current user errors.

 However I do think ink settings ALSO need to be able to exist without
the profile since the ink settings precede the profile, and since it
is extremely advantageous to be able to adopt the ink settings from
some known paper as a quick starting point to work with another paper.
Ink settings, as we agree do precede profiles, and therefore need to
be able to exist and be invoked independently of profiles.
