I've been using a Colorvision PrintFix 2 Pro for about 9 months. I've calibrated both of my main displays and I'm happy with my result. It's a Samsung 226bw. It profile's fairly neutral, with a very slight warm tone. My issue is my Epson R1800, running an Ink Republic CIS system. I've never got colours that I'm happy with. I'm using Ilford Smooth Pearl paper, because I like it's texture and the IR inks aren't very glossy, so glossy papers look wrong. So what's my problem? The output has a strong green cast. I have used the large patch and I've used the extended greys. I allowed the targets a week to dry before calibrating, I printed the targets from Photoshop CS2, making sure that no profile was selected. I've ran the Printfix pro software along side photoshop (restarting it ever time I made a profile change) and I can't get this paper neutral. There is a really strong green cast still. If I print a grey scale, it's more like a green scale and there's odd pink colour bands in the greys too. Is there something that I'm doing wrong or is that this device isn't accurate enough to fix this paper/ink combo? Regards, Gareth Cooper
