Print Callibration in PI 10
Does anyone know how to callibrate the printer to recreate the colours seen on a TFT??? I know in ADOBE CS there is a nice little tool, but I can not find it in PI 10.

As an Artist, I would suggest that you continue to use PSD for printing your artwork. You can use PI 10 to open PSD files in layers and then save in layers, which allow you to switch work back and forth between PI 10 and PSD. In PI 10 change the PSD setting in Preferences.
PI 10 uses the industry sRGB image Profile as the standard for their program. However, that said, you can still get some good prints from PI 10 but you have to use Profiles and ICMs and a lot of tweaking, since PI 10 does not have more than one profile to work with. I will assume you are a well knowledged Printmaker and will understand the following:
Go to File, Preferences, Color Management, select the checkbox Enable Color Management. You now have two additional selections; you must select one of either:
Basic Color Management: Specify how colors appear on your monitor and printer. This feature will set the Monitor Profile: Printer Profile: and Rendering Intent: Display boxes. You must select the correct Monitor and Printer Profile, and then set Rendering to Pictures, unless you are doing Vector graphics, in which case you should select Graphics as the Rendering output.
or Proofing: adds two additional selection boxes, to the above selections, for Emulating device profile: and Rendering Intent:
If you have the correct profiles installed on your computer they will display automatically in each dialog selection box.
It is equally important that you set the Gamma in PI 10, this should be set to the Monitor Output, i.e. 1.8, 2.9, 2.2, etc. When adjusting manually PI 10 will try to match your monitor output. To do so, Go to File, Preferences, Categories, System, Display, select Hi color dithering, and change the Gamma to match your Monitor. Note: while using this feature setting you should disable the Adobe Monitor Gamma Profile.
With the correct profiles and selected settings this is as close as you will get to the intended output based on the original. Since all work on the desktop is viewed in RGB, and since all work is printed in CMYK I assume you understand the inherent difficulties in Profile matching, therefore some tweaking will be necessary to get a satisfactory result.
From my experience, Commercial Profiles are at best generic and so do not work well in PI 10 but have some success in PSD.
