RE: [colorvision_group] Re: PrintFix Pro profile problems

Thanks for your reply Ed.
Yes I have been using the same paper as I have a 30 mt roll.
And yes I did let it dry for that time. In fact I have re measured over a
two week period to see if there is any difference. 

Actually your observation and experience is pretty much what I am looking
for.  I am just concerned that I am going about the process incorrectly and
I suppose I need confirmation that I am going along the right track and I
will get there.

The biggest issue I have is the soft proof and the final print for the
standard profile are pretty good and even match each other reasonably well,
but the PFP profile is way out in the print and when that is fixed the soft
proof is way out?

Thanks for your thoughts.

Paul

|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.
