Re: [PRODIG] Profiling software

[Clay White]

The whole concept of Print Fix is to take the scanner out of the 
equation.  It is a scanner but there are not setting to set wrong etc 
which is why so many scanner based products that depended on your own 
scanner failed..although I got good results from Profiler RGB.  There 
was one version of Doctor Pro
that had problems..fixed.

I agree that given unlimited resources get the Spectro  package with 
profiler pro and use the instrument.  (slow process to read patches..30 
minutes).  Or check Gretag MAcbeth  Eye-one Photo.
Now under $1500 US and the spectro included reads very vast 
(2-5minutes).

I've noticed that ColorVision are offering a copy of DoctorPRO with 
their
PrintFIX scanner (or PrintFIX and OptiCal/Spyder package)

Does anyone have any experience/comments about its usefulness/ease of 
use?
I've had a look around the web, but can't find many actual comments or 
tips
on its use...

I wouldn't bother with DoctorPRO. I tried the product for about a 
month,
then got rid of it. Scanner-based profiling solutions are problematic 
since
you're introducing the scanner in to the process, yet you have no way 
of
knowing how the scanner interprets colours. IMHO spend the extra money 
and
get ProfilerPRO with the mouse.
