ColorVision PrintFIX Pro

If you do any kind of photo editing and printing you’ll know that what you see on your monitor isn’t necessarily what comes out of your printer.  For most people the differences are neglible, but for those individuals doing proofs, printing their own gallery prints, or who are just plain anal-retentive, exact color matches are a necessity.  ColorVision (a division of Pantone), sells products aimed at helping you calibrate and profile your monitors, scanners, and printers.  Their latest product is the PrintFIX Pro, which is designed to calibrate and profile your printer’s output so that WYSIWYG.  The PrintFIX reads color samples printed from your printer, and provides you with a profile based upon the paper used and the settings specified.  These profiles can be tweaked at the user’s discretion to account for viewing conditions or personal taste.  At a MSRP of $549 it’s a cheap way to get decent accuracy without spending an arm and a leg.  Available late January/early February 2006.
