Re: Not satisfied with PrintFix Pro profile - Any way...

2007-02-18 by prof_mgt551

I will try including a MacBeth color checker in the image, but I know
the colors are reproducible because I can do a localized color
correction of the problem hue and get a very very close match to the
soft proof on the monitor screen. So I know the color can be
reproduced more accurately, the profile is failing to do this.

Thanks for your thoughts.
