I think what you describe would only make sense in the context of 'chemical
proofs' like Polaproofs, Matchprints, ColorArts or Cromalins. In the case of
inkjets proofs, those 'process-oriented' parameters would be meaningless as
these type of proofs extensively make use of metamerim to create appearance
matches, thereby defeating any densitometric-based analysis.
As for software that automatically handles the data inputting and tracking
over time, I think you can find what you need at
