The difference between PFP and printfix are like night and day. Continous improvements have been made to the package. David Miller and CD Tobies' dedication to helping owners of this package are unmatched in the industry IMOH. I sold my i1 package and use PFP exclusively. I ran out of my light cyan, light magenta and yellow ink and to get me by, I loaded some 2 yr old MIS archival pigs. I made a 225 patch profile with PFP Pro and the resulting prints are visually identical to my previous ones. How about 99% of the results obtained from packages costing twice as much or more than PFP. It is my understanding 2.0 is a free upgrade for 1.1 owners but don't take me at my word on that. The reason the competition is beating up on this package is they're scared stiff.
