To my opinion, currently Argyll CMS offers better camera profiles than any other non-spectral based solution I know of. My sincere congratulations to Mr. Gill.

I like to join your congratulations. I use Argyll to profile large format scanners. Unfortunately the Sensors of these scanners are far away from fulfilling the Luther condition and their fluorescent light sources don't really contribute to make the situation better. In order to cover metamerism issues and problematic samples, I use up to ten different targets (many of them are self made) and sometimes supplementary sampling points measured in typical originals to create a scanner profile. I appreciate the unrivaled flexibility Argyll offers. And the quality I get (in particular with RC1/RC2) beats everything else I've seen so far.

In my experience, accurate Argyll profiles combined with measures to reduce scan-to-variability can even outperform spectrally-aided workflows like Ergosoft's HP Artist solution for Nikon or Betterlight's ColorSage.
