David,

Wow, thanks for the response (on an overnight Friday no less). Impressive. Post a question 
before going to bed, and get an answer by the time I woke up.  What did I do to deserve 
such service? ;)

Let me elaborate on the mottled colors. I honestly think it's the limitation of the little 
scanner with the patch I scanned from the original PF. I also think perhaps some of my 
detail on the image was just melding together. (here is the image I was trying to print: 
http://www.pretedesign.com/data/images/gallery_images/user_id_10/HG9Q0417.xl.jpg ). 
Most of the color in there fared well, it was in the rocks that it began to look a little 
"painterly". I was printing on Hanhemeule Museum Etching Paper too, but using a profile I 
created for German Etching. The papers are very close but not exact. I was a little 
dissapointed in the lack of detail in the rock on the image. Other than that, I was happy 
with how it printed. Pretty impressive either way though, considering I didn't profile the 
paper yet, and also was testing with what has been known as a less than ideal product.

If PFP is that much better, I am pretty certain it's likely what I need. While I can likely afford 
one of the more expensive systems, perhaps it's overkill at the moment. And since it 
seems PFP 2 will only be a software release, then I shouldn't worry about holding off my 
purchase, correct? Which leads me to my next two questions. Is the 30 day satisfaction 
guarantee through orderd from CV directly, or can I expect that at the retail level as well? 
Will you guys be at Photo Plus Expo in NYC, and will the hardware be there to demo and 
perhaps create a test profile? Perhaps thats something you might consider offering to help 
any guys on the line over that edge to buy? I know if I was able to create a profile there, 
bring it home and test, I'd likely go back the next day to buy one.

Best regards,

Ed
