RE: [colorvision_group] So what can we expect from CV in the near future

2006-09-16 by Kris

David, I bet sometimes you want to pull your hair out.  With all the inks
(with Epson changing them with every printer, and HP not far behind)...

What I've always found, using PFP and several other profiling packages over
time, is there are a million ways to make a mistake, and usually only one or
two that produces perfection.  Can be frustrating, but in my opinion PFP
makes it simpler than most other packages.  Try to make a profile with Onyx
(my version was a couple of versions old), WAY too many bells and whistles,
and they seem to find a new color engine with every release.  It's one of
the reasons I stopped using Onyx and began just making a profile for
printing directly through the print driver.  Between photoshop and Qimage,
our workflow hasn't suffered.

What I mean, is I feel your pain!  :))))
