I'll post an advanced description of how it all works closer to Photokina 
time. I can't cover this in detail too soon; on the other hand, its all a matter 
of controlled leakage from here to Photokina (on all new products to be 
announced there) so I suspect I will be able to go into a fair amount of detail 
before I leave for the show, so that list members will have a context for what 
they'll hear in show reports. For now let me just say that PrintFIX PRO 2.0 will 
offer the most exacting neutrality I've ever seen from OEM ink and driver 
combinations, but that once you have dead neutral you immediately want control 
over all elements of neutrality and tint, to get results you may prefer to those 
dead neutral results; so PrintFIX PRO 2.0 will offer an array of tools for 
just such control.
