Hi Josep, > Mistery solved. My fault, print module works Ok with the Epson SX445W

If so just create a style with the correction and apply this style from the print module. But I'm not sure we can adjust the blue channel from the curve. There was a discussion on the mailing-list about adding support for this in the tone curve. Not yet there, but there is hope :) Cheers, -- Pascal Obry / Magny Les Hameaux (78) The best way to travel is by means of imagination http://v2p.fr.eu.org http://www.obry.net gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-key F949BD3B ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dive into the World of Parallel Programming.
