dear alan, after perusing the replies, i'm not sure if your question was addressed entirely. i have had a lot of issues mainly with the file type (either cmyk or rgb). because rgb is based on light (as is your monitor), the pallette will allow much brighter colors.
this being said, you can jump between cmyk and rgb and see how it limits your pallette. but once you print the file, no matter what file type it is, your printer is limited by its inks (CMY&K) and will not hold the intensity of rgb. one thing i have noticed--using generic inks in my epson produce muddied and dulled colors. using the epson inks (much more expensive) produced nice vibrant colors for me. hope this helps and isn't too redundant. matt ---- Original Message ---- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: FLUXLIST: request for help Date: Mon, 10 Feb 2003 17:57:00 +0100 >dear anybody and everybody and your friends and relatives, > >a plea for help!
