Sort of, but not exactly. What StudioPrint, QTR, and I think IJC do is
hardware linearize. Basically density adjustments. I'd describe it as
a 2 dimensional mapping, not what a color managed icc conversion does,
which is a 3 dimensional color mapping, and done so by the icc
standards. For example our SP density files can't be utilized by icc
aware apps.

In terms of repeatable consistancy, via accurate hardware
measurements, for grayscale output, in a sense it amounts to the same
thing.
How's that for confusing?
