[argyllcms] Devicelink profile size

[Lorenzo Ridolfi <lorenzo@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I'm using icclink and I have some questions:

1) Even knowing that "good things come in small packages", the 
devicelink profile sizes I'm getting from icclink are quite small, 
comparing with other packages. I'm doing CMYK to CMYK dvl profiles and 
I'm getting 800k each profile in high quality. If I use medium quality, 
the profile size is less than 100k. Are these normal sizes? The original 
profiles I'm dealing have 2MBytes each and other devicelink packages 
build profiles around 2Mbytes too.
2) I'm proofing a very yellow paper and I'd like to have an absolute 
colorimetric mapping to reproduce the yellow paper in the device link 
profile. I'm using the "-i a" option and I'm confused if should use "-o" 
option, too. My understand is that the second profile doesn't need any 
white-point adaptation as I'm using it in the same condition as measured 
and I'm assuming icclink is using the absolute rendering table in the 
second profile, too. Am I correct ?
3) I'd like to preserve the blacks in my devicelink (it´s a CMYK to CMYK 
link for proofing) and I believe the -kt  is the best option, according 
to the tutorial. Is there any other option useful in CMYK-to-CMYK 
scenario? My settings are: icclink -v -qh -G -ia -dpp -l360 -kt

Best regards,
Lorenzo
