In your list of color links you forgot the most important one :-)
http://web.access.net.au/argyll/argyllcms.html
This system is an experimental CMS that can create scanner _AND_ printer
profiles. It uses a DTP51 colorimeter - unfortunately this is not one of
the cheaper models.
In an earlier email you asked if one could not just take a scanner,
scan an IT8 target and then create an ICC profile based on the scanner
data. This is possible, unfortunately there is no Linux software that
can do this. Thee are a few packages for Windows and Macs that can do
this (e.g. from Heidelberg, Praxisoft (Wiziwyg), Monaco, ...) They
do a reasonable job, but a colorimeter based approach is much better.
I run Wiziwyg unser VMware.
Hope this helps,
Karl Heinz
