Digital BW, The Print

No emails back yet. I sent one this morning saying that there is no way that I can allow Xrite to remotely connect to my computer when ever they desire, this was part of the new EULA and is certainly holding things up for me. I also asked about the software and the future plans because it seems that there are too many features left out and I don't want to buy a lesser product now and get shut out of the real replacement. This Publish just seems to have the look and feel of the old i1 software, not the look and feel of Profiler or PMP.

Bright side is that it seems Profiler still works in the XP emulation mode of win7pro or higher, might not get my monitor set, but at least I can still build profiles when I need them. Otherwise it will probably be off to whatever Heidelberg offers, the CMYK from Printopen 4 has always given me good results (the RGB was decent), and the newer version is supposed to be even better. Also time to start looking seriously at Argyll CMS. 

Xrite used to be very good to me (which is why I spent the money on their system), but after the Gretag purchase they seem to have taken a much different approach and a few of the old guard can still do small things but they are small.

I'll have to call tomorrow and see if they have answers to my questions.

Last time I checked the Heidelberg system was going for around $2500 (software only) and worked with the popular instruments since they don't make a spectro.
