Re: PrintFix Pro Software - feature request

David
thank you very much for the info.
i will try this sometime this week.
this may sound crazy, but i read that the best profile for a dye-sub 
printer would be with the largest ~750 color target.  
Is this possible as well?
thank you very much,
Shmuel
