Yes, that's pretty much what it means. It also means I'd question the
usefulness of that printer/ink/paper combination for any
color-managed workflow...
You should probably save yourself some pain by establishing just when
(and if) the print does in fact stabilize. Then you just have to live
with the fact that that's how long it takes to make a print on that
paper. Measure the profiling target once it's stable, and let your
prints stabilize before you make any evaluations. It's a pain, but
any other course means you're measuring a moving target with a rubber
ruler.
Some ink/paper combinations never stabilize. I hope this is not one of them.
Different papers can take dramatically different times to cure. I've
been working with the Epson 2200, and I've found that while the
Premium Luster takes about 2 hours to cure, the Premium Semi Gloss
takes a bit over 24 hours. It's not particularly intuitive. But
taking the time to determine when the print reaches final color will
save you a world of grief later on.
