PFP Suite with Fuji Frontier F340

2006-04-20 by hanson102

i recently tried to build a profile out of the fuji frontier f340.
below is a narration of the steps i did.

1. calibrate monitor using spyder2pro.  i successfully achieved a 0.20
difference and my RGB columns all aligned.
2. installed printfix.  
3. since the frontier machine has an interface of itself, i cannot
print the target prints from the PFP interface, i extracted the target
prints from c:\program files\colorvision\printfix pro\targets folder.
4. measured the color charts using the spectro.
5. opened a file (photo) in photoshop, converted the profile to the
profile i created from the fuji frontier machine and printed it.
6. since my color chart was printed in glossy paper, i also printed my
test image in glossy paper as well.  my problem is that the colors are
totally off.  the print came out reddish while the image viewed on
monitor is more on the yellow side.  it is very noticeable.

here are my questions:

1. how come my print and file viewed on the monitor are off?

2. i noticed that the target prints bundled with the PFP is set at
72dpi 12"x10", if i print this out from the frontier at 8"x10", the
color chart comes out soft and blurred since the original resolution
is at 72dpi only and the frontier prints at 300dpi.  is this a big
concern?  i mean, does reading soft, blurred color patches wrong? 
should i be reading sharp color patches to make it accurate?  if so,
how can i achieve this since the bundled target prints are at 72dpi
and interpolation doesn't help that much?

is there any target prints set at 8"x10" at 300dpi that is available
for download?

3. i noticed that the target prints do not have an embedded profile
when i opened it in photoshop.  should i print the target file without
assigning a profile?  

i hope you guys can help me with this.  has anyone every calibrated a
fuji frontier using PFP?

thanks a lot!

cheers!  :)
