There certainly are nonoptimal combinations (ones that do not produce 
ideal results), and unprofilable combinations (ones that you can't 
produce a functional profile for), and incompatible combinations (ones 
that bleed, or mottle, or refuse to dry)... I try to avoid all three, 
but its suprising how often users absolutely insist that they should be 
able to profile a combination, no matter how ill-advised it is. I view 
custom profiles as a way to make good combinations better, not ways to 
make problem combinations useable... so you should start with a good 
combination of printer, ink, media setting, and paper.

Subject: [colorvision_group] Uncooperative combination of paper/ink

    I've used a package of 50 sheets of Canon Matte paper in an attempt 
to
make a printer profile for it and have come to the conclusion that it
is not a viable combination for me. I've decided to throw in the towel
on this project and devote my time to a battle I've got a better
chance of winning.
