Ok thanks everyone for the feedback on DTG sim process simulation.
Does a DTG printer have color linearization capability similar to X-rites 1440 color patch test?
Can DTG printers use other RIP output?  If so I can see where using the color calibration software could allow
a DTG printer to print and read the test print and linearize color so a closer match is possible.
What are the color controls on DTG?  Is it the same as digital where you can dial in color dang near perfectly to what is on screen.

I asked this exact question over in Brandt's post about epson vs m&r, and really didn't get an answer about using a a test print to calibrate the unit, other than the fact that 'compromises have to be made'... 

I know that you can do some level of calibration in the rip, but how much who knows...

I'd think for the 'corporate' uses for DTG, this would be key as they're always looking nearly exact pantone matches.
