Sure, but the goal for the DesignJet printing pipeline cannot
reasonably be to offer a system which supports whatever inks and
whatever papers.
The point is to offer a system which, using specified inks and
specified papers, yields a sufficiently tight device-to-device and
print-to-print tolerance.
To go beyond built-in calibration for device-to-device and
print-to-print tolerancing, one may use something like the BEST Remote
Proof solution which is instrument-based. I'm sure there are other
solutions, too.
Note that built-in calibration is not unique to the 10 ps, but is used
in DesignJets back to the four ink models of the late nineties. It is
also used e.g. in the current top of the line models.
It is possible to check the host-based or built-in calibration of a
studio printing system with a free download of the ProfileMaker
MeasureTool and an i1, iCColor, Spectrolino or any other supported
instrument.
