I printed the target from printfix, with my epson settings as ICM, 
no color adjustment.

One thing I noticed is that the target looks different when viewed 
on screen in printfix than if I load the .jpg file into photoshop.
What is quite wierd is the blue color to all of the first 5 rows of 
and columns of the test.

I have just gotten the software and hardware but the test print is 
not that hard to do.

I used the enhanced matte setting on the printer and the enhanced 
matte paper so they should match up fairly well. 

The printer does produce wonderfull prints with the imageprint 
profiles.

I have not tried to make a profile from what I have, and it may come 
out fine, but it seems strange that the starting colors are so far 
off.
