Ever since the publication of Martin Parr's photographs of life in the British Isles in the early 1980s, Parr's keen observations of modern life have placed his photographs in the collections of museums, galleries, and publications, and influenced a new generation of color photographers. He has been very visible with recent exhibitions of his work at the Photokina Conference in Germany, and at the PhotoPlus Expo in New York, both of which were printed on the newest generation of HP "Z Series" printers. His recent books for Aperture and Phaidon have garned critical praise, and in this interview with Martin Parr, we discuss these topics and more.

In this interview with David Tobie of DataColor, we learn how they approached the challenge of producing professional profiles while keeping the PrintFIX PRO as the most affordable solution for photographers seeking predictable and superior prints than afforded by generic profiles.
