In fact, I was thinking of a database for scanner calibration targets. 
I read somewhere that scanners were more stable, provided that they warm
up.

Is that true?

Done, thanks. I just ordered via Paypal.

I got one from a friend. The problem is that Gnome-Color-Manager hangs
up from time to time, but I was able to calibrate the screen. What a
beauty now!

To come back to the discussion : Once the scanner is calibrated, why not
ask Gnome-color-manager routines to compare colors of a R1 IT8.7 target
with the same image with calculated colors. 

This would be the same as using a scanner as a colormunki. Am I wrong?

Kind regards,
