No, I don't believe that all profiling software is consistent. What I am
getting at is this: in a perfect world, I would be able to profile Tyvek,
Glossy Vinyl, Photo Paper, Banner material, etc, and have all the images
look identical. Of course, in a non perfect world, we are limited by gamut,
ink absorption, and other factors. However, a "consistent" profiling package
is one that attempts to make all the images look the same. With an
inconsistent package, I get images that have different color balances,
different highlight to shadow balances, and images that are generally all
over the ball park.
One example is this: in Onyx ProductionHouse, there is a step that they
referred to as "advanced profiling", but it is really about generating a
gray balance. Almost every "expert" profiler says "avoid that step" as it
produces erratic results. That is INCONSISTENCY.

Are you stating this as a general rule? Wouldn't that depend on the
particular product you're using? And you mean "lower quality" rather
than "inconsistent," don't you? All profile-making software is
consistent, though some may make better profiles than others.
