Mark, you have a point. If inkjet is going to become mainstream then it
should also be part of the total color equation. I'll be the HP people have
a leg up in these developments with their inkjet lines of printers. And so
must Canon and, of course, Epson. But in the beginning of the ICC, I was
told, every company had to give up a little of their best kept commercial
secrets in order to use some commonly agreed upon color transforms. Do you
see history repeat itself with inkjet printers manufacturers? For the sake
of advancing color management?
