Graeme,
You and Terry are making interesting points.
When I heard the term press fingerprinting was in the 1980s, just a very few
months before icc profiles became popular.
From my point of view the term fingerprinting is from the printing world (I
think it was coined by DuPont at one time) and is the context that I view it
under.
