Hello there,

Question:  

Does anyone in this group use Printfix Pro to profile their printer
for use with the  Imageprint RIP?

Reason for asking:

I have an Epson 4800 printer using Imageprint 6.x RIP. (Windows XP,
Apple Cinema Display 23") I have been getting some mismatch between
screen output and printer output lately & wondered whether custom
profiles done with the RIP would give me more satisfactory control
over the output...(Interestingly, the IP Phatte Black profiles are a
much closer and more satisfactory  match than the IP 8 ink profiles on
luster papers.)

I have an older Colorvision Spyder that I use to profile my monitor
and am thinking of getting a  new monitor calibration device, but
wonder whether I shouldn't be getting a printer profile package at the
same time to allow me the option of fine-tuning the RIP output.  ( I
have had access to an Eye-one system in the past which gave me good
profiles using the Epson Print Driver & Qimage but alas it is no
longer available to me.)  

Has anyone here had success and satisfactory results using PFP and IP
together? 

Thanks.
