Hi there,

I'm using PrintFIX Pro Suite.

In the SpyderProof screen, I'm not seeing any of the following 
description from the "help" file:

CONTROLS

SpyderProof Controls in display calibration software contain two 
sections: a Display Profile section and a Print Emulation section. 
Both sections are for on-screen display (not printing) only. 
Spyder3Print Controls offer both on-screen and print capabilities, so 
that users can print any or all of the test images directly from 
Spyder3Print to check profile results.

Display: Noneditiable text box will display name of monitor profile 
just built (S3) or OS defined monitor profile (PFP). Both are 
actually the same, since just built profile has already been set of 
OS monitor profile. Checkbox will allow user to toggle Video 
Corrections on and off (flash and null VLUTs). Text box is not a 
popdown list to avoid applying profiles for other monitors, or 
profiles for same monitor but with different hardware adjustments, 
neither of which would be valid.

Print: Popdown list will default to printer profile just created 
(Spyder3Print) or short list of typical device types to emulate 
(Spyder3Pro/Elite), such as photolabs and typical inkjet inks and 
papers. Checkbox will allow user to toggle Print Proof on and off. 
Changing profiles in popdown will proof to other printer profiles, 
but using same monitor profile.

Device Emulation: Popdown will start with a short list of typical 
device types to emulate, such as presses and photolabs, plus generic 
inkjet profiles. User built profiles can be selected as well.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled version 3.

Thanks for any help.

Regards, Paul.

description from the "help" file:

First off, SpyderProof is a function of Spyder3 products only, so you 
won't find it in PrintFIX PRO, or Spyder2PRO, which are the components 
of the PrintFIX PRO Suite.

Second, the SpyderProof help file tends to cover both Spyder3Elite and 
Spyder3Print versions of the functions, when actually  they differ from 
display profiling (where the options are for turning your display 
calibration on and off) and printer profling (where they turn the 
printer softproof on and off), and in either case may describe more 
features than current builds actually offer, as the help was written 
and translated before the actual featureset for the release product was 
finalized. Look for any features described but not yet available in 
future software updates.

Wow. Talk about confusing. You'll never know what Hell I went 
through. I feel much better now, though...  :-)
