Most "CMYK" printers (if you mean inkjets and lasers) are actually RGB printers. So, you can get the most accurate results using a calibrated monitor, Gimp's color management in "Color manged display" mode, and sRGB profile for your image. You can get better results by calibrating your printer, though. -- Branko Vukelić Check out my blog: http://www.brankovukelic.com/ Check out my portfolio: http://www.flickr.com/photos/foxbunny/ _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
