I ordered my PrintFix Pro over a month ago, but it got stuck in the "back-ordered" logjam. I was patient, though, and it arrived the other day. While I waited for it to arrive, I lurked on this group & absorbed the various advice & experiences everybody was sharing. (I now know *way* more about profiling dual monitors under WinXP than I ever thought I would - LOL.) Well, I bought the PFP in order to get a decent profile for my Fuji Pictrography 3500 printer. I goofed around with the PFP for about a day, getting the hang of it. I painted a stripe around the nose with some white-out - yep, that helped, good tip. Yesterday, I created a Pictro profile from the 729-patch chart and WHOA! - I'm just tickled about the results. Man, this printer just rocks now that I have a decent profile for it! Next up, maybe I'll step outside the Epson ink/paper world for my 2200. I doubt I'm going to get quite as geeky about profiling as some of you guys - I figure it's possible to drive a car without knowing the inner workings of fuel injection, it must be the same for color - but it's fun to read what you guys are up to. Thanks to everybody for sharing your experiences, and especially to CDavidT for his comments, critiques and generally patient way of explaining stuff. If anybody else has a Pictro, maybe you'd share your driver settings? I set mine for ICM OFF, all sliders neutral, Image Process OFF and Grey Balance to Gray3(sRGB). Any reason to believe I'd get a better profile with different driver settings? Regards, Mike

The taming of the Pictro - gotta say, I'm just tickled.
