I don't think that is the sole job, but it is certainly one job. By
making multiple printers work well with a single profile, a side
benefit is that the Epson-supplied profiles should work better with
any single printer, because ColorBase makes any given printer behave
exactly like the one(s) Epson (or its proxy) actually used to create
the profiles being distributed with each printer model, in principle.
For mere mortals with individual printer samples, ColorBase should
make Epson-supplied profiles much more accurate (as long as
appropriate inks and media are used, of course). Alternately, by
running ColorBase before custom profile creation and periodically
afterwards, one can extend the useful lifetime of any profile by
compensating for some types of drifts in printer characteristics over
time. That is the logic I see behind this application, but only
real-world experience will tell whether the logic was
well-implemented in ColorBase.
