Is there anyone using this combination? If so I would like to hear
your experiences as I am particularly interested in improving upon the
stock HP profiles for Satin (and then of course, once owning Printfix
Pro, getting similar results on other papers).
I have a DJ130 here. It profiles just fine, it just has a few unique features to be considered. First, you need to calibrate your paper category (such as matte) using the exact paper you plan to profile. Then you print your PFP printer profiling target once this calibration is in effect (with color management turned off in the driver, or course). This will produce a target with preneutralized neutrals. Nice. Now build your profile, and print using the same settings as when you printed the target, choosing the profile in Print with Preview in Photoshop (or equivalent from other apps). The DJ130 is not a good choice for B&W prints, or long life prints on matte or art paper, but its fine for moderate life gloss and luster prints on the special swellable polymer media that HP provides. If you use more typical microceramic papers they will look great, but be very short lived prints.
