The program installs as a Photoshop plug-in. It consists of small bus-powered print scanner (based on a scanner made in China called the Travelscan 660) and ColorVision profiling software. This product promises to provide photographers with an inexpensive ($339) hardware and software solution. It’s only when one wants a custom profile for papers or inks for which a profile is not available from Epson that producing ones own or having one made commercially makes financial sense.Įnter PrintFIXfrom ColorVision,which began shipping in late May, 2003. These too have also been very good, but frankly, if one is using Epson papers and inks the Epson-provided profiles are fine, and not significantly different or deficient over the ones that one can produce using gear that costs several thousands of dollars. I have also had custom profiles made for me by colleagues with similar high-end profiling gear, much of it of more recent vintage than my own. Using a high-end spectrophotometer and profiling software ( Spectrocam and Profiler Pro along with DR Pro) I have made some very fine profiles over the past couple of years. They also ship with very good profiles provided by Epson. The latest generation of photographic printers, Epson’s 2100, 2200, 7600, 9600, produce stunning print quality and excellent image longevity, equaling or exceeding traditional chemical prints in both regards. One area where we are now reaching a bit closer to the unattainable goal is in printing. And in search of that unattainable goal we spend countless hours and dollars in the pursuit of equipment which will give us the image quality that we seek.
