Has anyone gotten truly good results making custom paper profiles

No, but I feel you pain. The only things I can say good about the
Best Color rip is
that, it's better than a Fiery and at 360dpi it's faster than a
fiery. I understand
the reasoning behind the paper baseline and printer linearization
steps but why
link it to the paper profile, which is actually the destination
color space. These
guys didn't keep it simple. All I want is a rip that takes a source
profile and a
destination profile and outputs color correctly. Does anyone know of such an
animal?
We have had good results profiling the BESTColor DE RIP but you need
to follow a certain procedure. It is a little fiddley and you can
find a full description of it here:

In my opinion they kept it too simple (profiling = hard) but I'll be
posting something about that in a minute.
