I can't imagine why people post to the DPReview forums with questions; I find it to be the least accurate and most edgy place to get information! Well, the whole workflow is in question. You need to be printing the target with No Color Management (or your driver's equivalent) selected, for a start. And you need to then print the test images from SpyderProof to assure that your profile is correct. There is no way to tell from a distance that your own test image was handled properly at all points, and that the sky colors are appropriate and in gamut. However if you print a sky image direct from SpyderProof, that is a known entity, from a known printing route, and the only thing you have to be sure to do is to, again, turn off color management in your driver, and use the same settings as when you printed the target. So let us know if the blue sky image from SpyderProof looks Magenta. If not, its not your profile, its your workflow or your image. If so, then we can actually consider your profile process and settings.
