I did sevral profiles , one of them doesnt chang the white area to light gray , it keeps white(255,255,255), i dont remember how i did it
BUT???
when i edit it in the profile editor to fix the neutral/gray casting,the white starts to become gray
i only reduced the yellow using the Color Tweaking Wizard and  picked the center dot in the color wheel to indicate that i want to make a change in neutral grays in the image, thats all i did

i sent both profiles to fred, to check

thank you all,,,

I discovered on more thing :
before i edit the profile in the profile editor, the white area is very light gray
and after i edit it in the profile editor to fix the neutral/gray casting, the white area become more gray /
hope this would help to solve the problem!!!

Thank you dear for your fast replay ,
I used the recommended settings that mentioned in the help file for the printer and scanner ( both are epson).
these are all the details:
 - the target charge number : R130730
 - for Prism target, i got these results:
        Exposure: image is properly exposed (231)
        White balance accuracy : 1% ( excellent - white balance is very accurate)
        Light variance: 5% ( excellent - even lighting across chart)
        3 patches marks with (x) art at minimum/maximum brightness
        shadow detail: Good - darkest gray patch clipped
- for Printer target ,  i got these results:
        Exposure : 223.
        3 patches marks with (x) art at minimum/maximum brightness
- After I Create the profile I got these final results:
       Printer/paper/ink dynamic range: 72.2
       Printer/paper/ink coverage of Lab space: 10.1%
       Smoothing required: 4 passes
       Printer profile usable range: 0-255, 0-255, 0-255

is there any thing else you need to know?

Hi
I did several profiles using Profile prism,the colors are noticeably improved , but i faced a tiny problem.
The white area in the printed image become little gray , even when i tested the profile in the Photoshop by "convert to  profile" the white turn to light gray, so it is not a driver problem.

Any one know what is my mistake?

Fred,
at least i got the IT8...

thank you ,,,

because am so far of US,i don't know why i didn't receive the mail package  , and  ddisoftware  send the software package only  by USPS Air Mail , and don't support other reliable ways like (UPS, FedEx, etc)

Hi Terry
I want a printer profile, so i will do the PP with my printer and paper , and after that i will merge the PP scanned file with the IT8 scanned one using any software like Photoshop to make PP and IT8 as one file , so look like they both scanned at the same time 
it just a thought hope it will works

Hi everyone
I purchased profile-prism , but i couldn't receive the software package which include the IT8 target  , so i download it from  ddisoftware web site, but i still  miss  the IT8 target ,  so am wondering if there is anyone who have Epson stylus photo PX660 or Hp photosmart c5283 scaner , and send me the IT8 scanned file don by the previous scanners and using the recommended settings mentioned in  profile-prism help

best regards
thank you
