Right. I'm really skeptical of these profiles. Do these guys
just output a target send the readings into some profiling
software and call it good or do they really check the accuracy
of their work? I don't think they really spend a lot of time
on them. For desktop printers, whose tolerences aren't very
close to one another, these profiles aren't much better than
the ones shipped with the printer. If they are well made then
they will get you in the ballpark with the Pro series printers.
