Moab matte profiles created by Moab were made with PFP 1.1. ?

2006-12-03 by peter_woelk

Hello,
seems that Moab produced the profiles for their matte papers with
PrintFix Pro 1.1. They are simply unusual rubbish! Someone with
connections to that company should inform them please (I have no
connections and I'm not interested in annother 'user complain' dialog).
Dave or C.D., ColorVision is named in the fileinfo of their
profiles...maybe it isn't a good promotion for ColorVision! (I think
it isn't).
A bit disappointing is that a company like Moab doesn't check their
profiles for flaws! Hope they have a better quality managment for
their papers which worked well for me.

Best,
Peter

Correct...

They are simply unusual rubbish!

They do not reflect the latest coatings, so are not tight enough for B&W or other demanding work. Moab knows they all need to be replaced... I suspect they are waiting for the final version of v2.0 before doing so. Well, they won't have to wait any longer, we should have it on the CV websites this week!

Thats not the issue... they were checked when made, and for typical printers, at correct settings, were about right, which is how canned profiles work. New versions will improve on that, but not as much as custom building your own, which is what Moab recommends; they have the canned ones available as "starters" for those who aren't yet ready to commit to building their own.

PFP1.1 will not profile the B9180. Version 2 is needed for that...

That is what exactly what I have said...but Moab had built their B9180
profiles (for matte papers) with v1.1 and published them on their
homepage for download. Canned profiles or custom profiles, BW or color
is not the question here...these actual B9180 matte profiles are
unusual anyway!! With the ColorVision fileinfo in this profiles those
PrintFix Pro critical persons are fed unnecessarily (mainly dogs :).

Best,
Peter

Which would certainly indicate, as you also implied, that they didn't test them! I'll put in a word with the boss there, and see that they get those profiles replaced first, when they start the reprofiling...
