Let me add that I started off several years ago by reading most of Real
World Color Management, which does have something like that in an
appendix, but afterwards I found something which was shorter and more
relevant for what I was doing with argyllcms. That is what I think gave
me the detailed information I needed, but I can't find it now.
Let me explain what I'm trying to do. Previously I managed to construct
a profile for my Epson 1280 printer using argyllcms with an Eye-One-Pro,
all under Fedora Linux. I used that profile with files edited under
gimp or hugin and then printed with photoprint.
I now have an Epson 3880 printer, and I want to make a profile for it.
I've been (re)studying the argyllcms documentation about that, and I
thought it would be helpful to look at a profile that Epson provides for
use with Photoshop under Windows. So I want to remind myself of what
all the different fields mean.
I am assuming that I can't just use the Epson profile under Fedora. But
even if I can, I think I would do better making my own profile.
