I decided to use the 150 sample profile because it did a very good job printing color. More
about using PrintFix Pro in another post tomorrow.
I'll be interested to see what improvements you find with 225 patch profiles, and even 729 patch under PrintFIX PRO. Given that its no more paper or ink, and only an additional minute or so's reading time, I use 225 patch profiles instead of 150 for most everything. They should certainly add some detail in near blacks, near whites, and possibly some changes in grays as well, as those are the areas the extra patches focus on. For demaning uses like this, it certainly makes sense to use 225 patches.
Did you use the Media Setting Check function to determine your media setting for this profile? I find that with the most optimal (as opposed to the most likely named) media setting, the shadow detail can be significantly improved.
