ICC color builder isn't a profiling package, it's just the tool
to connect icc profiles into the Cyclone "CTT" device link format.
Generally all our non-proofing profiles are created using Gretag Profile
maker. Our proofing systems use the profiling package that I wrote, since it
has much greater flexibility and accuracy.

Interesting. It could be that we just happened to test the one
media that the dye is very unstable on. Some further testing
should reveal whether this is the case.

The overall gamut of the dye is in fact less than the pigment. Don't
guess, measure and compare.
