Well I really know the 3100 intimately.
The 3200 is pretty close with many improvements that few will know about,
other than a better red ink.
HP not only went to Monaco tables for profile creation rgb and CMYK with APS
but entirely redid the canned HP built in profiler. I saw the internal test
prints which were near identical to APS/Monaco profiles in Barcelona.
In my limited tests, the canned built in profiler is pretty darn good but
still has some flat spots in some areas, some slight contouring, yet just as
sweet grey scale transitions as ever. The difference between the old 3100
and the new 3200 with the built in Color Center profiles is night and day.
Before they were acceptable for poster print applications or less demanding
photo printing, but any print maker concerned with reliable colour was
forced to use a third party app with the winner for ease of use , APS which
used PM 6.0x tables.
I honestly feel the Color Center profiles are so good I don't see the point
for most to buy APS, unless they are using a lot of different media, and or
printing for galleries.
