Andrew, good questions. I can't relate to "imaginary" colors, nor do I know whether or not they interfere with the colour management need to obtain predictable outcomes from a colour-managed workflow. As for the profiling target, of course, like all targets, they have a limited number of patches, they are printed on media, and the profile calculated from reading them I presume is developed on the basis of mathematical algorithms that allow much more to be characterized than just what is on the target. But however it is done, that is the best we have, and the only point I'm making is that from a practical user perspective, gamut from these devices *exists* because we use profiles from which applications like ColorThink Pro can identify a colour space, and that's what gets used in managing the output from the scanner. No?

And that gamut is based on the source used to build it (an IT8? Paper, film?). What about the data it can 'see' or scan outside that gamut? Or imaginary colors?
