I disagree. Fingerprinting is generally an analysis of the

It's possible the term originated in one context, and has been
appropriated into another context, with a different meaning.
So did "fingerprinting" originate in the color profiling world,
or the printing world ?
I think that's the case. But I'm pretty sure I used to hear the term
"press fingerprinting" long before I could even spell "ICC profile".
