<x-charset Windows-1252>Well, Bill, go look at this site:
http://www.colorcal.com/

Profiler Pro is the top product from them, but to
use it you need a spectrophotometer to read color
patches from a printed target.  Both are rather
pricey, but some other company's parallel products
cost a lot more.

Anyway, YES, you can make profiles to your heart's
content.  They and others also have less expensive
profile builders where you use a scanner to get
your target patches' values...not as accurate
though.

Would someone please explain profilerPRO software
to me. What is it? Is it a
method of determining your own profiles for a
variety of paper/ink combos? Where
do you get it and how much does it cost?
I am new to the list and probably this has been
discussed before but I am behind
on digital.

Thanks,

Bill
