Dear Mike
The WMU Profiling Review is a review of color management profiling software. All versions are available as a free download from <http://www.wmich.edu/pci/staff/downloads/index.html>. We are working on the next version, planned for January 2005.
We are doing something new this time. I have decided to include non-ICC products as well. This gives the user a feel for what they can achieve within proprietary environments compared to pure ICC workflows. So I am including ICS Remote Director in the monitor category and GMG ColorProof in the printer category.
I will try and make the comparison valid, but as you rightly point out there are limitations. For printers I am testing the accuracy of the forward print process (B2A) and the accuracy of the proofing or display process (A2B). I am testing B2A and A2B separately. I am going to try to compare GMG ColorProof to an ICC profile B2A tag. Of course the document will explain this in more detail.
You asked a very good question.
