Anybody out there using a high fidelity type rip, I.e. Ergosoft or Caldera for 
example, and using argyll to build profiles for it?  I currently have been very 
satisfied with Texprint V14's colorGPS engine, but may look at critically 
evaluating how well argyll performs in comparison.   Argyll technology is in 
use on our Klauscolour (TM Pending...) equipped Cruse Museum Scanner, and works 
fabulously well.  Thanks be to Argyllcms!
