I am very familiar with the "broken profile syndrome" on Macs. It goes
exactly like Kerry reported: Profile gets made, gets used by client,
one day it "stops working". The easiest solution is usually to
reprofile, then things work again.
In a way this situation can be useful to a consultant because it can
bring him a client.
There are zillions of ways this can happen, hardware failure (blocked
nozzles) is certainly a feasible failure mode, but I believe that
corruption -bit rot- or accidental twiddling of print driver settings
is probably the most active sneaky culprit. I guess system or software
updates might also cause such corruption, as I don't think the PS 9.01
problem is the first time the print system got whacked by an update.
Now for the rant: If vendors were to supply some simple tools - eg.
color patches - then a consultant could quickly walk through the
components of the print chain and find where it's been perturbed.
Windows systems are notorious for system corruption, while Unix-like
systems are fairly resistant to bit-rot but it does occur, as every
admin knows..
