Hi Ron,
Yes, tried that particular starting point too as recommended in the HP list.... still prints dark.
In CS2's soft proof, the Kodak profile looks same density but a bit more saturation & slightly more red so not a dramatic difference as we see in the final print which is darker. At the moment we add a curve adjustment making it lighter so it prints about right but I'd much rather sort out what is happening by getting the profile right and also we have to remember to do it!
As mentioned all other papers, canvas etc come out pretty close to what we see in CS2 but the Kodak prints darker. Do you think it just hasn't got the same gamit or something?
Do you have an APS profile that I could try...would it work anyway? I'm hoping the extra patched might somehow give a more accurate profile.
thanks, Evo
