Hello,

Using the calibration approach compensates for linearity and density changes 
only, say printhead irregularities, etc. But when a paper white or ink lot 
changes, then the per-channel calibration won't help a lot. I've seen and tried 
some solutions in the market (for money) that can do re-profiling on ICC basis 
to compensate for slight color changes in the complete printing process.
I tested argyll's "refine" but that seems to apply to specific colors in a 
profile only, not to a global compensation process.
@Dimitrije: Probably the best and easiest to compensate for your color shifts 
would simply to profile the printer again.

Regards,
Joe
