Hi there
I am on a g4 powerbook with a 23 inch apple cinema display and calibrate with an pantone eye-one display2. I am trying to make prints with the hahnemuhle photo rag duo 196gsm and all my prints are coming out super magenta. I am using the profile from Hans site and while i've heard they arent the best, i heard they were OK. I have tried everything from changing the paper from velvet fine art, to water color and have tried different rendering intents. but still all my prints are coming out super magenta, and yes i am soft proofing. any ideas or suggestions?

the canned profiles on the hahne website are not the best, but they are ok, you should not get any major colorcasts or problems....
make sure the head is clean....
make sure: your file (in PS) has a adobe 1998/pro/srgb profile....your monitor set-up has your calibrated profile chosen
you select PS to handle the color in the printsetup, choose the hahne profile.....turn colormanagement off in the print dialog (you got this part right, from what i can tell from your post...)
i can only imagine that you are working in some weird colorspace/with some weird custom profile to begin with......
try a different paper/profile and see if the problem is the same....
most of the time it is the easy solutions, because you just miss one step....
also: i just had a custom profile go bad....yes, don't ask me how and why, but it somehow got currupted...all my prints with this profile came out 2 stops too dark.....drove me nuts....but retracing my steps i found out that it was the profile and not my setup.....good luck
softproofing never really works for me.....to me, no matter how good your monitor is, the difference between looking at an image backlit (monitor) and an image on a piece of paper is always considerable....i work on a eizo and there is a difference.....just my opinion....
