Hello,

I recently created an ICC profile using ProfileMaker 5 using both the 288 and the 918 color patches. I compared them to each other and they are both very close to each other but the 918 patch version has much smoother extremeties when viewed in Apple's Colorsync utility.

I then compared the generated profile to a canned profile I got for the same printer and different substrates and the color gamut of the generated profile is a teeny sliver of the canned profile.

I am using a DTP41 that I self-calibrated immediately prior to reading the patches and ProfileMaker 5.07.

� Can it be that my DTP41 is completely out of wack? It appears to work flawlessly and I ran the self-calibration prior to reading the patches without any errors.
� Can I check this out without having to send it back to Gretag/Xrite?
� Is there a way of determining the color accuracy of both profiles?

I have not looked (nor wanted to) at new color management tools because they are always expensive if you don't want to be reading one patch at a time for the next 8 years.

Can anyone recommend an accurate and reasonably priced LCD/Monitor device. I have an old DTP92 but that will apparenty NOT do LCD panels and therefore no laptops either.

Thanks,
Jorge
