[filmscanners] Scanner Profiling

["" <HMSDOC@aol.com>]

I am interested in trying to profile my Polaroid SS4000+ scanner using VueScan, 
which now supports making the scan and profile once you have the IT-8 target 
and data file.  Does one do this once with a target made from any film (Kodak 
Ektachrome targets seem to be particularly abundant from my taking a quick look 
around) or 'should' one have a scanner profile for each type of film that is 
used and utilize that profile when you scan that particular film type?  When I 
sit and think about it it would seem to me that the film type should not matter 
as the scanner is seeing the color and utilizing a database to translate the 
color to the colors the monitor and/or printer should produce, which if the 
data file is accurate, I would think should be independent of film base...but 
perhaps I am wrong about that.

I am interested in profiling as my scans seem a bit dull to me right out of the 
scanner.
