As an unsatisfied Printfix user I'm wondering about an upgrade path to 
Printfix Pro.  I'm considering buying one soon, but if there's a 
reasonable discount through Colorvision, I'll go through their 
channels.  Any discount for upgrade?

The below link mentions there will be an upgrade discount announced March 15th.

I will say that PrintFix Pro is working excellent for me...it shouldn't be that good for the 
price....more about this later....

Could you elaborate on your issues with Printfix?  This new forum could be a
great way to make suggestions to Colorvision.  Instead of the comment you
made that really gives no description, a little detail, along with some
positive suggestions (I'm sure) would be very helpful to the CV folks in
planning future versions.

I'm a new user of Printfix Pro, and I have found nothing at all to complain
about.

We do accept tips and gratuities... <G>

Actually, I shouldn't say that; one year I told everyone who I did things 
for, but that didn't seem worth billing, that gratuities were accepted, ideally 
in the form of Pinot Noir, Cab, etc... which seemed to ease people's minds, 
without actually resulting in any wine appearing. Then the holidays came... and I 
couldn't get into my office, for the boxes of wine that were being delivered. 
UPS accused me of setting up a liquor store. My wife is not comfortable with 
having quantities of alcohol (or ice cream for that matter) in the house, so I 
had to smuggle it home one bottle at a time, over the next year or two. 
Occasionally she'd say "that was a good bottle of wine, where did you buy that?"... 
  good thing I didn't suggest ice cream.

David,
Looking forward to the upgrade path. I assume you will announce it on this forum.
Thanks,

That wouldn't actually serve much purpose, as there are no future versions of PrintFIX planned. The idea is to offer the improved quality and features of PrintFIX PRO instead, and offer a good upgrade incentive to PrintFIX (nonPRO) users.

I'm talking about the original printfix that comes w/ the funky 
little black scanner.  It simply didn't make very good profiles.  It 
was a cheap item, but I expected more.  In fact, after trying it a 
number of times (and even making a little guide to feed the targets 
straight) I gave up on it.  I'll sell it cheap if you're interested.  
As for specific complaints... dead images, loss of detail in 
highlights and shadows.  I have some professionally made profiles to 
compare it against, so I'm pretty sure of my displeasure.  As a 
suggestion, I think CV should have offerred an upgrade immediately to 
its poor, suffering customers.  Or at least say what the discount 
will be so that we're not in limbo and can purchase something without 
waiting so long.

Alright CD, I'll be patient, but it was you who ruined me...  back 
when you used to do custom profiling for us.
