Hi all,

I'd like to build a profile for my printer, but I don't know much
about color management, and I therefore have a few questions regarding
targets, printer profiles and lcms:

- Is it the case that if one prints a scanned target then, assuming
  the scanner is perfectly profiled, one can build a printer profile?
  Is this something that actually works, or is it just good from a
  theoretical point of view?

- Wouldn't it be better to print the (perfect) image file from which the
  target was generated, rather than the scanned target, to avoid one set
  of scanning errors? Are such files usually available? Is it possible
  to create such a file, if given the IT8 reference file of the target?

- Can lcms be used to build printer profiles? Is there already an
  available tool somewhere?

Thanks for any answer.
