Digital BW, The Print

Bill,

I was stupid enough to buy a PrintFix when it came out - one of the
worst purchases I've made, and Colorvision's support was totally
useless. Could you tell us more about the PrintFixPro printer
profiling hardware and software. I've been unable to get any
worthwhile info from Colorvision beyond marketing hype. How does it
compare with ProfileMaker and the Eye-One?

Thanks,
Helen
