I am glad to get in on the ground floor of a new group. I am a
professional photographer (over 35 years) and use a 9600/UC/PK for
almost all of my printing. The printer is tethered to a PC and I use
Qimage for all print setups. I calibrate with the Colorvision Spyder
2Pro and use the PrintFix (the one with the mini scanner) with
moderate luck. I probably will mostly lurk with great interest while
I try to decide if the PrintFix Pro is for me.
I can confirm for you that PrintFIX PRO would be a great improvement over PrintFIX for the 9600 with UltraChromes and Photo Black. The profiles work well on the PC, and through Qimage, and of course there is no problem with using them with a Spyder2PRO calibrated monitor... or any well calibrated monitor. Its all a matter of how many media types you use, and what level of precision you demand of your results (and how much ink and media you are willing to waste on trial and error prints). I suspect a few weeks on this list will give you all the info you need to make your decision.
