Thank you to David Miller from
ColorVision.
And to all of you who suggested the obvious from the
start.
David took one look at my
measurements and pointed out that they all looked perfect, in fact too
perfect.
It appears that I did NOT
turn off colour management, as I thought I had done. The
target printed, showed pretty much full gamut and I was not aware what I
was looking at and I assumed that every thing was ok with the first patch
print.
As I now know, after
printing a target correctly, the printed target should have been muted and
dark.
Now that I see the difference, it is so obvious a half
blind person could make it out. Man am I kicking myself on this
one.
I honestly thought that colour management was OFF in the driver, because as I said I never
have it on!!
But this has made a liar out of me.
Not the first time of course and I guess it won't be the
last.
I put my hand up to everyone and admit
culpability for this error.
At
least there is the hope that someone else will see this and not make the same
errors I have.
Thanks
again to David Miller and to the others who posted advice and thanks ColorVision
for a great product, as I now have some great prints to show for
it.

Hi all.As a new print fix pro user I am finding I cannot achieve the results I was expecting.I am presuming that I am doing something wrong, but of course I need direction to see if this is correct or it is another issue( cut)If you'd like me to have a look at your measurements (as I did with Ed Limmy'sa week or so ago), just bundle them into a .zip file and email them to meoff list at davem@....(Cut)This is important: when you do the test print from -inside PFP-, you need tomake sure that the printer driver settings (inside Page Setup in PFP) are-the same- as they were when you first printed the target that you measured.PFP applies the profile for you (which is what happens when that progressbar appears, briefly, on the test print wizard screen), so you don't wantto apply the profile twice; -don't- apply the profile inside the printerdriver when you're testing this way, inside PFP.
