I've just rebuilt my PC and after reinstalling all my software I found that my print colour was a little off. So I went and hired a Spyder2Pro with a printer calibrater as well to try and get things as close as I can. Now I normally do all my editing in Photoshop CS but use Paint Shop Pro 9 for all my printing as it is very versatile when it comes to printing multiple images. I've calibrated my monitor which I'm pretty happy with. The printer calibrater runs the PrintfixPro software through Photoshop. After calibrating the printer with this (an Epson 2100 printer) the prints it generates through Photoshop aren't too bad, though a little dark. However, when it comes to Paint Shop Pro everything is dark and GREEN! Even going back to my original profiles the prints are still coming out very green. I'm at a bit of a loss as to what is happening. I found it strange that PrintFix Pro had to be used with the Adobe RGB (1998) colour profile as nothing else seems to use it, and I can't set this in Paint Shop Pro. I remember reading somewhere that you shouldn't use Adobe RGB (1998) with image editing etc.

So I guess the question is, why is it that by going back to my old profiles it is not getting back to where I started. What can I do to get the new profiles to work correctly with Paint Shop Pro?
