OK. Thanks.

Yep.
But unfortunately there is a difference and it's not a little one.
I don't see any problems with profiles from eyeOne iMatch 3 or even the 
profiles EPSON included in the driver package for their papers. But since I'd 
like to create my own profiles for non-EPSON papers, that doesn't help much.


One last question: When I look at the header data of the profiles (iccdump), I 
see some differences:

1) "Rndrng Intnt" is "Relative Colorimetric" in ArgyllCMS-profiles and 
"Perceptual" in the other profiles I've mentioned above.

2) "Version" is "2.2.0" in ArgyllCMS-profiles but "2.4.0" in the other profiles.

Maybe those fields aren't just handled as metadata and do have an effect in how 
the CMM behaves with a given profile? If yes: Is there a way to modify those 
fields in ArgyllCMS?

Thanks again.
Andreas
