Nick,
It depends on your tolerances, how close the printers are naturally, and your workflow.
My "golden rule" approach is this:
1. Adjust each printer by physical means (ink limiting, substrate, resolution, etc.) to match solids as closely as possible.
2. G7 Calibrate each as accurately as possible -if necessary with separate curves.
3. Create an average profile for the group.
Of. Purse there's lots of fine print in there, but this usually works well.
Does that make sense?

Hello,
I wanted to get others opinions on profiling multiple of the same model printer. I have groups of the same printers and was wondering what others do for profiling. Do you give them all their own curves and icc profiles? or is it better to have one icc profile for all of them and linearize each printer individually? They are setup to run the same media on each group of printers.
Thanks,
Nick
