Comparing two PrintFix Pro Profiles

Comparing two PrintFix Pro Profiles

2006-03-17 by wye4knot

Sorry for not being specific enough on this request.
Using WinXP.  Have made two measurements of the same
printed targets, 273 patch system on two different occasions
a couple of days apart.  What necessated this was printing with
the orginal profile (ICC) produced weird colors in the 
blue-green range.  So I remeasured and received another ICC
profile, named differently.  SO, to learn the system better,
comparing the two profiles (ICC) should indicate a difference
and this would result in printing the same image with correct colors.
If the profiles are simular, then I would expect the same printing
results.

Tried the PowerToys from Microsoft, and there were slight differences and
I have not tried to print the image again.

So that is the story.  I just want to validate the profile that I
generated and which one work better.  Is this a trial and error
experiment?

Thanks,
Chas

You can do a soft proof to see which could be the better profile. 

I would just make a print with each profile and evaluate.

To some degree... there is also the Excel sheet I posted yesterday that will allow you to see the differences between L*, a* and b* for each measurement for all 729 lines, though, with the header in the spreadsheet their numbering is off, and they are lines 2 through 730...
