Not everyone has fully profiled workflows. If your full workflow isn't profiled, you may need adjustments to correct for your monitor; if your printer/driver/paper combo isn't profiled (Gutenprint, for example, is a volunteer project, and we don't have the resources to profile printer/driver/paper combinations), you may need significant adjustments to get useful output. >> Hopefully someone with access to this equipment or a similar setup can >> help the OP, without the attitude. -- Robert Krawitz <r...@alum.mit.edu> *** MIT Engineers A Proud Tradition http://mitathletics.com *** Member of the League for Programming Freedom -- http://ProgFree.org Project lead for Gutenprint -- http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net "Linux doesn't dictate how I work, I dictate how Linux works." --Eric Crampton ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to darktable-user+unsubscr...@lists.darktable.org
