The gamut of the monitor(s) is a finite thing. Certain profilers will have
better optimisation per instrument/monitor type/video card. Although I think
the grey balance is much smoother using a colorimetre than spectro with most
of the profilers I have tried, the gamut boundaries are quite similar with
all packages and instruments. Calibration has a large impact on the bias so
the dark saturated colors can be clipped upon profiling a poorly calibrated
monitor.
Sometimes a little blue tweak is required on the printer profile if you want
it to look like the process Cyan Magenta overprint. And if you measured a
blue in Lab and filled a Photoshop selection with this? Does it show very
differently than the actual measured color?
Colorthink will show you easily the colors of you're working space vs the
monitor space for clipping.
