filmscanners: Custom ICC printer profiles

[Alan Eckert]

Forgive this somewhat OT post, but I've done an IT8 calibration with Silverfast on my SS4000 and I like what I see on the screen (it matches the slides well), but I can't trust what comes out of the 1270 printer to look like what's on the screen.  The results are sometimes quite beautiful, but often visibly not like the screen.  Martin Evening recommends Pixl in Denmark, which creates custom ICC profiles by supplying a file and asking you to send in a print of that file for evaluation.  Costs $200.  Can anyone recommend a reliable high quality U.S. firm that might do the same thing but not charge quite as much?  BTW, I'm using PS 6.0 on a G4 Mac.   Alan
