I have little respect for this kind of hidden recommendation of yourself. If you want to use List servers to promote your services, at least be frank about it so people can decide for themselves whether you recommend someone because you like their service, or because you want other peoples money. Play with open cards mate, or you will loose much respect from the people you eventually will need help from. > I would further add that the 'best' profiles are not necessarily achieved by > averaging the data from 2 printed testcharts but more from a clever mix of > how those test charts are read.

Be purist then but live with the fact that your will never excel unless your printer is operating under circumstances where stability can be achieved: � Not a desktop printer, these ARE not generally stable. � Controlled temperature never deviating more than 1-2 degrees centigrade � Stable humidity environment never deviating more than 4-6 degrees RelHumidity. I'd be interested in knowing what that "Clever Mix" of how testcharts are measured is please? This list is for sharing information, not pure marketing... If you look at Neil's post you'll notice that he actually discloses how he builds profiles, a method anyone can take up if they want to improve results.
