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, iÂm not user of the terminal, so I canÂt 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.
