Hi Mark,
Your articles on printing are great. I noticed in a recent article, you spent substantial time and effort discussing Chromix profiles for matte papers. I also know that others at LL are fans of Image Print. I believe both companies do an exceptional job. I have used imageprint for several years. It is as much for the layout and print process as it is about the color profiles, if not more. Imageprint is said to focus not only on color profiles, but also on controlling how the printer prints (bypassing the epson driver). I have spoken with Chromix and they seem on top of their game. I plan on using their profile valet service to have several profiles made.
We don't have to choose in reality, because IMAGEPRINT LETS YOU USE YOUR OWN COLOR PROFILES (i.e, you can use Chromix color profiles within Imageprint). If there is a difference, this means potentially the best of both worlds. Thus, it would be great to see a comparative analysis of profiles from each. I plan to experiment with this, but my conclusions would only be subjective (and in the end, that counts the most). However, you are likely much better able to draw objective conclusions. Any chance you would consider taking on this job? BTW, Somerset Museum Rag and Canvas are the matte papers I use most, and I suspect would benefit from the chromix polarizer process.
Thank you again as you have really ignited a curiosity and interest!
Logan
