Print and Monitor match, but....

2007-02-19 by darrellmccombs

I have made a few profiles now with Frintfix Pro 2.0.  Each time, I 
ensure that the ICM is turned off when making the print targets, and 
I have been reading in both the 729 patch chart and the B/W chart.

Each time, I review the readings to make sure that all the boxes 
look right (no out of place colors using the Measured View).

The good news...  In all 3 cases the print matchewd what I saw on 
the monitor when doing a Proof in CS2.

The bad news...  The profile someitmes drastically changes my 
image.  

On a glossy paper, I viewed the proof and it was noticibly darker 
than the image without the proof.  The Print did match the proof 
though.

On a FineArt paper, I viewed the proof and it was very close to the 
image without the proof.

I did a Rag paper last night and I viewed the proof and it was 
noticibly brighter than the image without the proof.

Why am I seeing this variance?  The Rag paper profile from the 
vendor has its issues, but it is not way too light like the Printfix 
profile.

Regards,
Darrell
