the last few days i have been frustrated with a continuing problem with my printer and error messages. in the middle of error messages i was able to get some prints out successfully but with color disasters. just now i have finally gotten the printer working without errors but the colors remain off from the intended soft proof appearing in Photoshop. i had one test print prove to resemble the soft proof this morning but all subsequent tests have resulted in yellowish prints. after three of these i remembered others here commenting on the same thing. it is a clear yellow cast across the entire image. i am baffled at how tests on the same paper and inks (MIS) could result in this amount of variance for the day. i must note that i also had a red cast this morning. i finally re-profiled and made a fresh profile with fine results, but now it appears the profile has corrupted again. it is strange to say the least. i have noticed 'drift' in the profiles i have made since i started using PFP. all the profiles i made, from plain paper to enhanced matte, for both my printers (7600 and C84) now generate inaccurate prints from the soft proof, something that was fine at the time i made the original profiles. not sure what is going on. ghi
