Isn't that what Tom is hoping to accomplish based on his last post? Its
pretty clear there's a few print issues that need to be addressed.
Hopefully Gutenprint will be able to do the job :-)

Its not appalling and its been something we've seen from day one in
analog photography, the world didn't explode because Kodachrome
didn't produce the exact color appearance as Velva nor could you be
sure that two lens of the same manufacturer produced identical
color on the same film, shooting the same scene (or that one batch
of Agfachrome would match another). Or that two E6 labs would
produce the same chrome shot side by side on two different
cameras. Or that two printers of the same make produce identical
color from the same set of RGB numbers run though two different
manufactures ICC profiles!
Kodachrome vs. Velvia is essentially a matter of deliberately choosing
different settings. Beyond that, the fact that process control was
not good in the analog days isn't a good excuse for it not being bad
now -- unless the de facto requirement has looser tolerances than what
people here claim to be the case.
