This is very intersting, Jostein. We might find this very usefull at work. Can you give us the name of the company or the name of the system they are using. In Denmark we have a company called Pixl, that does the same thing you described (I believe). I've been reading their website, but it's sooo complicated and difficllt to understand. They can do the whole thing for us, but it costs a small fortune - somthing like 5000 USD or each printer. And it turned out that some of our printers can't really be calibrated at all.

I have the Color Spyder for calibrating the screen, but never got the prints right. The solution for me was to order the service from a pro digital photo vendor. They sent me a file to print without colour correction. I sent the print back for the paper types I use, and got a ready-to-use colour profile to use for printing. In PSP, I have to select the custom made profile, turn off the adjustments in the printer driver, and voilá. Works every time. It was a bit expensive, but it's worth it IMHO.
