It may just be me, but I don't see how you can compare output from different
inks/drivers/rips using an image that each has 'interpreted', that would be
the same as if they used their own creation rather than a target print.  The
image has to be the same, the constant... unmanipulated except for what is
required for the different output workflows, IMHO.
