imagine a situation: company has 5 the same color printing devices

a procedure to linearize all of them to match each other?
Standard procedure of linearization (described in manual of the RIP -
XITRON Navigator 6.02) doesn't help in this case. There are small
differences in color behavior that are not acceptable for a customer.
Thats not really what linearization is for... thats what profiling is for.
Hmm. Actually it's the reverse on our products. "Linearisation" == Calibration,
where calibration is to get different instances of a model of printer
into accord, so that a single characterization (== Profile) will be
valid across them all.
It may come down to whether the "linearisation" is to the printers
actual maximum density (which doesn't amount to calibration), rather
than to a fixed target density (which does amount to calibration).
Of course profiling can be used instead of calibration, it is just
a whole lot more work.
