EFI's Color Manager does indeed do an excellent job, and
reintegrating the profile into the workflow is simpler. But other
than slightly cleaner yellow solids, I've never seen any meaningful
difference in print quality between it and PM5, nor has anyone here I
know--the proofs made with either have been indistinguishable. The
version of Colorproof XF should make no difference in this regard,
unless of course the problem is in the RIP rather in the profiling
app. Do keep in mind however, that you must stick with ICC v.2
profiles in Colorproof at the present time, or you might get strange
results--this applies also to reference profiles. As you re also a
certified installer, you might contact me off-list so we may compare
notes to see what might be different in our working methods. I'd also
need to know just what these "problems" with your shadows are.

I've noticed the same problem with profiles that I built with
ProfileMaker. I t started when I upgraded to ColorProof 3.1. I've
tested this on several different printers, mostly Epson 4800 or 4880,
and they all show this problem with dark areas. The colleagues that
I've spoken to have also seen this problem. And no changes in ink
limiting seems to help.
I went back to the built-in profiler in ColorProof, ColorManager and
got much better results. I recently did a test with the new
Basiccolor Print and the results were promising. I would prefer to
use an external profiler because of the limited choices of profiling
charts in ColorManager and to have the possibility to average several
readings.
