This comes from the old school where it took hours to measure a good 
size profile target, and minutes to measure linearization targets. But 
the big advantage would still be no more over inking a paper! That is 
something that can not be delt with (at least not well) at the RGB 
profile level. At least I assume you have some minor control over ink 
limits with colorbase, I haven't read that far yet. As it stands, those 
using third party papers and inks stand to gain the most from this 
utility.
