RE: [Digital BW] a new user with an Epson 3800 Print Fix Pro / Gretag MacBeth Eye-One

2007-01-23 by gcwagner

On the topic of printer / paper profiles for color or b&w does anyone have
recommendations on the use of Print Fix Pro vs. Gretag Eye One Design or
Photo? I see the Gretag costs more but I only want to spend the money one
time and want to develop a good working system that will last for some time.
Thanks,
Gary W.

  <G> it is the unfortunately part of the fun, the expense part... I
  hope you give QTR a try, you don't need PFP or other spectro to use
  it because you can try the user profiles. If you want to get into
  your own measuring, linearization, etc.. PFP is a good cost effective
  solution which would allow you to linearize QTR and also allow you to
  create your own color profiles should you print color.
