Can I assume that all the I960's are the same?
The problem with doing it myself (other than the software costs) is it seems like I need to calibrate the scanner as well. No idea how to do this.
I seemed to have stepped into a bit of a calibration quagmire here.

I did not calibrate my scanner (an Epson Perfection 2400) but according to the ProfilerPlus website "If your scanner isn't calibrated, the profiler plug-ins will make automatic corrections for this. " Don't know exactly how they do it... perhaps they analyze the white border on the scan and adjust accordingly?
The documentation directs you to configure the scanner before scanning the calibration chart: black point 0, white point 255, gamma 1.5, turn off all sharpening and other filters, 300 dpi scan at 100%.
However they accomplish it, the profiles are great. The key benefit over purchasing individual profiles is that I can generate new profiles for any ink/paper combination I desire.
