I had the head changed in the old 4000 and need to reprofile
everything and would really like the beta. Printing is piling up.  Any
news on release?

You mean: the Beta; not the Release... Or the release of the Beta,
actually. (But not the release of the Release.) Just to make sure we're
all clear on this...:-)

It's moving along nicely.

One thing everyone will like is this: say goodbye to the progress bar,
and delay of several seconds, that used to happen every time the Print
Preview was calculated (or recalculated) after building a profile. This
would also happen every time you changed the output rendering intent, or
switched from a corner view to Full Sheet or back again.

Now: it's instant; and so, there is no longer a progress bar for the Print
Preview part. There's still a short progress bar during profile calculation,
but this effectively makes things feel twice as fast as they used to.

(Note: this doesn't make your measurements any faster, of course, and it
only affects profile building after you have a completed measurement set).

The Beta. When can we get the beta?

hmmm... I wonder if this beta will help me tweak my profile a little to tame my blue to purple when dealing with high gamut blues.

I was wondering this myself. Any imput on this little problem from the
higher ups?

Could you recommend a 3rd party profile editor that will allow me to tweak the profile to deal with the blues better? I see Fuji makes one.  I hate to pay $600

You can load your test target into photoshop and do a selective color layer. Select the blue channel and ADD magenta. Print the target and read as usual. This forces your profiling application to compensate for the increased magents in the blues. Not very precise and requies a lot of experimenting, but can help.

Sorry I should have specified that

Agreed. Which brings us full circle to a profile editing application. If I recall correctly this was an old Colorvision workaround. I've used it with limited success in the past, but, haven't needed it for some time.

Thanks.  I know I am in the minority with dealing with so many out of gamut vector images so I appreciate the responses.  I tried this a while back, it was fix
