I suspect that the most recently completed program, Profile City's ICC Scan,
may be the current best choice. However, it is still based on the same rather
weak standard: the IT8.7-2 target. This means the white and black points are
extrapolated from patches less than white and black, the gray ramp from a
non-neutral set of gray patches, and the color maximums from patches not very
pure or bright, and all of these are compared to a data file that is not very
accurate... not an ideal starting point.
