So basing one profile on a previous one just biases the patch color

have an incremental mode where you do as many patches as will fit on a
page for that instrument, read them and then generate the next page
and repeat as many times as wanted? Seems like the most efficient use
of paper/ink.

Possibly, but it's a rather specialized approach, and would need a number
of changes to accomplish. The knowledge of whether a previous profile
is merely "like" the current device or is "exactly" the current device
is something the user knows, but Argyll doesn't assume. So a means
of specifying this situation and carrying the information about
in a reliable fashion would be needed.
