Subject: [Digital BW] OT: Profile Prism experiences?
To: digitalblackandwhitetheprint@yahoogroups.com

Hi All;

Sorry, yet another OT subject. Please contact me off-list if you 
prefer;

I've been using Monaco EZcolor, mostly becuase it came bundled with 
a scanner a couple years ago. It is really quite lame, so I'm 
looking for an alternative I can afford right now. Does anyone have 
direct experience with Profile Prism they can relate? My primary 
need is to be able to produce a fairly linear profile with a 
densitometer, if that is possible.

Thanks for any help

I have not used in in almost a year but I was not overly impressed. 
For a few months I really give it my best printing numerous targets on
numerous papers for all three of my Epson printers.    I profiled my
1160, 870 and 2200 with very mixed results.  In the end, especially
for the 2200, it seemed the Epson provided profiles were about as
good---though results varied depending on the image and the colors. 
This could have been a reflection of my technique in scanning my
targets, or my scanner for that matter.   I might fire it up and try
again.  Sine that time I've "upgraded" from my Epson 1200 flatbed to a
2450 but I'm doing mostly B&W these days and printing color family
"snaps" on my 1160 which has been fine for the purpose using the Epson
driver "automatic".
