IMHO if you’re making all your profiles with your particular Color Munki, the results can be extrapolated with a decent accuracy. For sure, much better than judging the print tests by eyesight.
Now, when I replaced OEM red with the Octoink red that you send me, the gamut of the two profiles weren’t what I expected beforehand. Almost no difference in the red area, but quite different in the violet-blue and green zone. See the picture below (outlined in red, gamut of the profile with OEM red and outlined in blue, profile with Octoink red).
That seems odd but my eye tells me that OEM red looks more vibrant and saturated in the prints although gamut curves might say otherwise.
In all likelihood, replacing my copy of the CM with yours would have changed the resulting profiles in one way or another, albeit within a moderate margin, That’s what @Andreas has been explaining in the “calabrations” thread. We can’t use a Color Munki seriously in the professional sector, where an accurate reference is needed.
Anyway, from a ‘bang for the buck’ point of view, it’s good enough for me. I keep telling myself that it would be absurd to spend 2-3K on a high grade spectro. That’s much more than what I paid for the whole bundle : Pro10s, refill supplies, third party ink and photo paper.
