Hi Karl, I think a lot of the lower end "non professional" profiling packages do not give the user the right to distribute profiles.
Also most people who will make you a profile for a reasonable fee only sell it at the price with the agreement that you don't distribute the profile to someone else "your use only". That, at any rate, contributes to the environment. The other thing of course is that part of the profiling job is to create a profile specific to the characteristics of a single printer. Printers like the 130 with a baseline calibration feature do make it more useful to share profiles among printers, certainly. -Bob On 1/30/08 2:01 AM, "karlgilis2" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm a newbie concerning the use of the DJ130 (just bought it two weeks > ago and still doing mostly test prints with different settings to see > what I like most).
