Re: PrintFix Pro profile problems

2006-08-06 by ed_limmy

HI Paul,
I've got the PFP for 2 weeks now. I've only printed 2 prints so far 
and I also could not match the prints to the softproof. With me the 
exposure and contrast and general colors were pretty spot on except 
for a tinge of coldness or bluishnes/Cyan compared to the PS soft 
proof on the monitor. I guess mine is as not as bad as yours.

I couldn't do any comparison this weekend due to work issues but 
believe most profiles would need some adjustments to match the 
softproof unless you're not fussy or don't need to monitor match.

I kind of smirk when I read that part which says most PFP profiles 
dont need adjustments....

I'll wait till next weekend to work on the prints with the softproof 
and some adjustment sliders. Let's see how close I can get a match.

Sorry, I don't really have a solution or suggestion for you. 

Here are my 2 cents:
1)I trust you are using the same batch of paper? - its not enough if 
its the same brand or paper type, must be same batch.

2)I assume you let the patch dry for at least a day before commencing 
the reading?

Ed.
