Using Spyder3Print with my new PrintFixPro I made a 255 color ICC profile for my HP B9180 and Epson Premium Presentation Paper Matte. I then tested it using Bill Atkinson's LAB color test image in the "Profile Test Images archive here: http://homepage.mac.com/billatkinson/FileSharing2.html On all the profiles that come with the B9180, when I soft proof in CS3, the perceptual and the saturation rendering intents give essentially the screen display (which look great) and they print very well and very much like the soft proof displays. On the profile I made with PrintFixPro the bright yellows (especially around the sun in the sunset picture at the lower left but all yellows in other parts too) are muddy and have lots of black in them on perceptual and look good on saturation intent. And the prints look just like the soft proof--unusably muddy on the yellow colors with perceptual rendering. You guys off course recomend saturation and not perceptual intent on rendering and that works fine for CS3. Unfortunately I do almost all my printing with Lightroom which doesn't give me a choice of saturation -- it's perceptual or relative only as rendering intent with Lightroom. Help! Neal
