I also have this slight tone in the white space surrounding images with my profiled Epson 1200, but I always assumed it was just the profile doing it's job, i.e. putting down a very faint, cool tone to counteract the 'yellowness' of the media the profile was made for (Epson Photo Paper in my case) and render it neutral. Isn't this how it's supposed to work? > Off on a slight tangent, with wear on heavily used printers, is there a point > at which an old profile needs updating to counter possible variations... Others on the list are more qualified to give a definitive answer, but yes as I understand it, as a printer ages it needs to be re-profiled. I think the Pro-File scheme is based around re-profiling your printer four times a year (or at least having it checked) to ensure accuracy. If you know anyone with a recently profiled printer, why not ask them to print out Thomas Holm's test image and compare it to one you've printed? Should be enough to give you a rough visual guide to how your's is doing, no?
