One strangeness though. I have been using PS CS2 soft proofing for
some time and, using the epson profiles, there was good agreement
between the soft proof and final print. Using the profile I just
generated, which as I said is giving great results, the soft proofs
are weird. They are desaturated and hugely too light ie light flat
shadows. They don't look anything like the print produced.
Does this make any sense?
There are a number of variables in a softproof process. Rendering intent, avoiding BPC, and making appropriate softproof adjustments in the Black and White Ref controls in the profile configuration screen in PrintFIX PRO would be at the top of the list. I bet, as a nine hour owner, that you probably haven't read all the details in the help for each step yet. Check out the B&W Ref descriptions.
