I am new to all this, so I am trying to find out how it all works.  I 
printed the 150 patch target thru Qimage with no color management 
either in Qimage nor the Canon i9900 driver.

The paper is Red River's River Linen, with OEM Canon inks.


Then I read the page in Printfix Pro, and saved the resulting profile.

Then I printed the target tiff again with Qimage using this new profile.

Then I read this new result page in Printfix Pro.  I expected to find 
that the target printed with the new profile would show very little 
need for correction - the two halves of each patch would look about the 
same after reading.

There does not seem to be a good way to compare two results sheets side 
by side, but as far as I could tell, the profile did not make much 
difference.  There were still marked differences between the measured 
and desired triangles on many of the patches.

Is there something wrong with my method here?  Or am I expecting too 
much?  Is it just that River Linen cannot produce all the colors called 
for by the target?
