Re: all profiles have too much yellow

2006-09-24 by aargvork

Hello Paul and David,

I would volunteer Paul, to do the test, but I am experiencing 
EXACTLY the same thing. I have to do this blue/red offset adjustment 
before printing, otherwise the prints are mainly too yellow.

I was wondering when someone else might report being "afflicted" 
with the same malady. 

So anyway, I too am looking for a volunteer with PFP to send some 
samples to as a comparison. Would be nice to have this resolved 
before Version 2.0 comes out. 

Thanks!

Regards,
Robert
