As far as I know learning the color wheel and adjusting the colors manually is still the best approach. The spectros are worth the money.
Someday printers, drivers, and color management software may be good enough to simply use a standard color managed workflow, but I don't think we're there yet.

Is there any way to "regularize" the process of "correcting" color to produce a desired output?
I have an X-rite 810 densitometer, which gives me RGB values, and a ColorMunki, which gives me Lab values. Thus, I can read the color values for the patches of a linearized 21-step grayscale and see how far a print is from some desired color.It is not at all obvious how to use these values to increase or decrease cyan, magenta or yellow inks to achieve, for example, a neutral outcome. *Are* these values any more useful than simply eyeballing the print?Myron
