Nope just the regular i1, they look at the spectral response of the 
paper, and then filter it with math. Some argue this is the best 
method, others say that filtering at the light source is best. I 
haven't decided which is best yet, so I won't claim either is better.

And I should have really said that the Gretag (Match & PMP) are 
automatic.

And I'm pretty sure that Profiler Pro doesn't compensate at all since 
I think it only uses L*a*b* values, so it doesn't really know what is 
going on well enough to compensate properly for the extra blue. It's 
been a while but I remember getting some pretty yellow prints on 
papers with OBA with PP, but I abandoned it long ago since the CMYK 
profile would not work properly with my (at the time) RIP. Never had 
the need to try the RGB side of that software.
