I will let CD and others respond in detail; but I would suggest that you
probably do need to calibrate and profile your monitor display on the Mac at
minimum.  If you changed printers, papers, or inks when you changed
computers, your old profiles might not work the same as they did before.
Moreover, the change from PC printer drivers to Mac printer drivers might
alter the color characteristics of the print and/or printer such that new
profiles would be needed.

I just got a mac book pro. Have been using PrintFix Pro on my PC and have
lots of profiles 
made. 

Have a couple of questions:
1. How do I get the program loaded on my Mac? or should I?

I never upgraded when the updates came out in October. I thought I'd be
getting the new 
computer right away (took a bit longer than expected) so I didn't want to
play around until 
I switched. I do remember that you had to uninstall the original version
first before 
upgrading. So I need the most recent version then.

2. Will my print profiles still work or do I have to redo them?

I'm finding out that this migration isn't as painless as I was lead to
believe it would be! But 
I got tired of Photoshop crashing my pc all the time and needed more memory
and hard 
drive space anyway. It's just taking longer than expected to get everything
set up the way I 
need it.

3. Right now I'm using the mac book pro screen, can you calibrate that or
should I? I did a 
test print on my Epson 7800 and the color is obviously way off. 

Thanks!
