There are a lot of people on the Colorsync list who earn their living
from tuning ink and color settings - they have considerable competence
in this but they don't code in C.
If you unleashed users by migrating the parameters out of the code you
would be doing yourself a considerable favor !

Unfortunately, right now most of these settings live in C source code
(actually, it's data written in C). They're also not based on a "one
file per printer/paper" model -- the paper settings (for all printers)
are in one file, the resolutions are in another file, the ink channels
are in yet another file, and the drop sizes in yet another (see
print-escp2-data.c and escp2-*.c in our src/main directory to
understand what I mean). This is something I want to change (put
everything into some kind of XML format), but it's going to take some
time.
When I actually get around to this, I'm probably not going to change
the overall layout all that much. Separate files for each
printer/resolution/paper combination will be combinatorially messy to
generate, much less maintain, and a lot of the data is shared between
many printers. We certainly won't try to hide where any of this
lives, but it may not be that easy for people to find their way
around.
