I just purchased the printfix pro and did my first profile. Most
colors are spot on with the exception of blues which are all purple. I
also do a softproof and see the blues migrating to purple. I tried
taking out some magenta with the slider, but that did not seem to help
and made some of the other colors off. I am using Winxp, the 225
patch on a epson luster clone paper and a dye UV ink on an Epson1280.
I can get very nice blues using the standard profile, but then other
colors are off like red (which is why I purchased this product).
There are assorted color issues generically called "the blues"... what you will get for results depends on a large number of factors you dont list here, as well as the ones you do. What light source are you viewing under? What images are you printing? If your combo is prone to significant magenta shift in blues, you may want to build a blue correction in Photoshop and apply it to your profiles. If it proves to be consistant, I can build that fix into your profile for you (as can anyone that owns a copy of DoctorPRO). We have considered adding a special slider for this function in PrintFIX PRO, but so far we have not actually had as many users commenting on it as I had expected, given that its usually the leading issue with ICC profiling products.
