Have you tried the gimp-print list? There's active development going on with gutenprint, especially with the newer Epson photo printers, and some of the colors are still being tuned. Check the archives to see if your printer is one of the ones updated recently. You might find a lot more people who know about color balance on specific printers on that list. https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gimp-print-devel I use gimp and gimp-print or gutenprint to print 8x10 wall photos and greeting cards on an Epson C86, which probably isn't what you would consider "serious printing". The colors are usually okay though the default black level is sometimes too high (that might have something to do with the paper; I haven't done much experimenting yet). ...Akkana _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
