Well I never discussed contract proofing. Nor is the paper I built the
profiles for intended for that. Nor the vast majority of users of these
printers. But your point is well taken.

I don't know what others would consider acceptable. I do know that with the
3800, which produced an average deltaE 2000 of 1 (using 5202 patches), I
printed a number of what I'd consider fine art images (one group being the
LAB test file built by Bill Atkinson). I used the custom profile I built and
the canned profile that produced this deltaE of 1, the two images to my eye
are indistinguishable.
