I just wanted to share my experiences with Dry Creek.

I once had a profile made by Dry Creek for my 1160/Gen4 combo.  It 
cost $50.  I wasn't happy with the reds either.  They reprofiled 3 
times and then concluded that I may have screwed up in my initial 
printing of the test file.  They offered to let me send in another 
test print for profiling free of charge.  Great guys to deal with.  I 
just never got around to it as I've just moved countries and am 
reasonably satisfied with tweaking the sliders.

I think Dry Creek's site is www.drycreekphoto.com.

There is a wealth of info on colour management on the site.

Before we get our wrists slapped though, may I suggest we move this 
discussion over to the archival colour list?
