Due to some work I did for Barbieri, I have an LFP, which I drive with
a homebrew Linux package that uses Argyll to generate profiles from
the same targets used by Basiccolor -aka Profile Expert.
The LFP is a bit of a pain to set up a job, because you need to tape
the sample to the carrier, but it makes it up by being very fast when
measuring. Above all, the LFP is hugely flexible; I did a set of
transparency measures for someone in Brazil recently and this device
can also take very thick substrates and widen the spectro aperture for
coarse materials.
As I believe in eating my own dogfood, I regularly use the
resultingBarbieri/Argyll profiles for all my own personal prints on
my Epson 9600, and I did some tests which showed my homebrew system's
RGB profiles compare decently with PMP5 when using relative
colorimetric rendering; as a comparison basis I used Xrite's superb
iSis XL to read Bill Atkinson's targets with around 4000 patches with
the data fed into PMP.
My impression is that Barbieri now has some machines which are very
capable. The Basiccolor software they OEM as Profile Expert has a good
reputation; I haven't used it.
