It's perfectly reasonable to check the overall inverse model by printing a chart
of (in gamut) PCS target colors and checking the measurements against the
targets
(although you need to allow for the effects of intent of course, making absolute
colorimetric intent the easiest intent to test).
That's a separate test though, and include test instance repeatability errors
in both
the device and instrument.
The profcheck and invprofcheck are intended to act as a verification on the
steps used to create the profile, based on the measurement data that it has
been created from. Since Argyll doesn't attempt to directly construct an inverse
profile from the raw data, there is less point in directly verifying this,
since it doesn't point to any particular step as the cause of errors.
