Hi,
I recently tried to generate profiles with PrintFix Pro for a Canon IP4300
that uses the CLI8 series inks (CLI-8bk, CLI-8c, CLI-8m, CLI-y).
I worked with Hahnem\ufffdhle FineArt Pearl and Tecco PPG250 and tried the HQ
as well as the large patch sets with the extended greys.
The results where fine color and gradations wise. But I always had
greenish/olive cast (at daylight) when printing BW images via the
generated profiles.
Using the black ink alone resulted in a blue cast on Hahnem\ufffdhle and pretty
good black on the Tecco paper which points to the green cast being
introduced by the PFP profile.
Using profiles generated with EyeOne Photo resulted in similar color /
gradation quality but without any casts on BW.

Question: has anyone on the list used PFP to profile a Canon printer that
uses the same inkset and gets decent BW? If yes, with which papers?

thx

Hi,
Yes, a nmber of people.  If you search the messages for "yellow cast" you will see a 
number of posts re the issue.

Ok, silly question, where do I search. Yahoo feels a bit unfriendly. ;-(
