PrintFIX Pro and Spyder2 from Colorvision (will use with Epson 1280/NEC Mulriayn

2006-02-24 by Johnny Eades

Hello folks,

Just found this group from another (DigitalBlackAndWhiteThePrint). I
print BW using Roy Harrington's QTR software (just started with it)on
an Epson 1280 using MIS UT2 inkset, and am asking whether or not this
new software/hardware combination from Colorvision will assist me with
my BW endeavors. I currently have the older Spyder monitor calibrator
and question the need for the updated Spyder2. I use an X-Rite 810
densitometer to acquire the density readings. Will the software and
spectro enable me to read both color readings and a grayscale
stepwedge to acquire reflected density readings to plug into QTR more
accurately? 

Your friend in Photography,

Johnny Eades

PrintFIX PRO (and the beta software version) will allow you to create Status T Visual Density values from gray ramps, and export them. It will allow you to make L*a*b* color readings, and export them, and, of course, it will build ICC color profiles for printers. If you get the Suite, it will also provide you with Spyder2PRO for your monitor. So the answers all appear to be "yes" conditional to you contacting me off list, once you have the product, and getting signed up for the beta.
