Hi Peter, hi list
The following discussion should be moved to the openicc mailinglist, because it is general point, not only connected with LCMS.

At the opennicc mailinglist was a discussion about standard-profiles and their locoation in the OSSearch the mailinglist e.g. for "profile distribution / Adobe / ECI"

Kai Uwe made an installers according this discussion under:

>>
The "ECI Offset2004" package ia available as rpm from:

For an optimal solution, the standard printer-profiles for OSS applications should be calculated with argyllCMS on the basis of standard characterization-data:

CGATS TR001 (SWOP)
FOGRA27 (ISOcoated)

from http://www.color.org


If anybody would be interested to do this, I would give some recomendations about gamutmapping and blackgeneration. I also would test the profiles in comparison to Adobe / ECI versions.

Unfortunatly, i´m not user of the terminal, so I can´t do it by myself.

If somebody would write a GUI for argyll-scripting, the OSS-community could deliver a functionality, which is not available at Adobe, Quark or other DTP-software vendors:

Calculating printing profiles from standard-characterization-data with different black-generation.

This is nothing for beginners, but it would be really impressive to professional users, which often asked for this feature in Photoshop / InDesign.
