Hello All,

I am a newbie, and I purchased the PFP in the hopes that it would 
correct the color problems with my printer.  I have an HP Photosmart 
7350.  I have calibrated my monitor with the Huey.  I went into the 
properties for the printer and chose "Manual" for the color 
management and then just removed all choices for a profile, because 
that was the only way I could see to "turn off" color management in 
this printer.

Now, I have printed out both the 150 and 225 targets, and I am 
continuing to get the same poor results.  I am using Kodak Ultima 
Satin paper (set to HP Premium Plus Photo, Glossy) in the driver, as 
instructed by Kodak.  I think I am doing everything right, and then 
my test print turns out with a grayish/reddish hue, and just a 
general washed out appearance with highlights blown way out.

I love my HP printer.  Is it time to part with it and go with 
something a tad more professional?  
Thanks!!  Vicki

But, for some reason, there is no "Advanced" button with the 
PHotosmart 7350.  When I go into properties, it has a Color 
Management tab....when I go under that tab there are two options:  
Automatic and Manual for applying a color profile.  There is a 
window where you can list associated profiles, and I have removed 
all of the profiles from this list and then chose Manual.  
Therefore, if there are no profiles from which to choose, does that 
mean that the color management is turned off??

I'm really confused.

Vicki
