The yellow cast on a printout is typical of a proofing paper with
excess optical brighteners. The instrument sees this paper as "blue"
instead of white, and the profile reflects that. So when the profiling
software builds the profile, it substracts this "blue" color (all
profiles are internally built as relative colorimetric, paper white
substracted). By substracting too much blue, it turns yellow.
The solutions are to either use another paper, or use a UV-filtered
instrument, or a profiling software that can compensate for this, such
as PrintOpen or ProfileMaker Pro. I do love Monaco Profiler, but this
is one (lack of optical brightener correction) is a shortcoming it
has.
If those solutions are not available, you might also try using
relative colorimetric to the printer, to see if that brings you closer
and the amount of profile correction you have to do is less. The
profile you have to edit is definitely the printer profile, but you
may want to edit only one side of it. I mean, if your unedited profile
gives you a good softproof but a bad printout, you may want to edit
only the B2A side (pcs->device, or typically Lab->cmyk). The editor in
Monaco Profiler allows you to do this, I'm not sure if the one in
Pulse ColorElite is exactly the same.

Hi Everybody on the list!!
I hope I get better luck on this mail and i receive a response, I'm having
problems with my color managed workflow, I already calibrated my monitor,
and my printer, and when i print a picture, the image that is printed has a
yellow cast that my soft proof doesn't shows, so I started modifing my
printer profile, till I can see a good RGB image (Adobe RGB) and then make
the absolute colorimetric intent, to my printer profile (Canon S900) when
printed, and it looks more like the real, but if I turn on the sof proof
viewing I see a red cast in all image, so I guess the profile that I need to
fix is the one of my monitor, but I have calibrated 2 different monitors,
and on both of them I saw the same result (the yellow cast in the printed
version Vs the soft proof).
Which one should I edit???? or what am I doing wrong??
I have Monaco Optix Pro Software, and the Pulse color elite software, so I
can edit both of my profiles
Also I have a problem with ColorShop X 1.4.1 when I try to see a profile
built by the PULSE, I only see a big box that occupies the whole space, but
if I see them with the monaco gamut works they look fine...
Thanks in advance for any help
