I love to test stuff and see what's 'really real', that's all. ;-)
Brooksy - as with most things, it can be as easy or as difficult as
one
can make it, and colour with computer printing is no exception. I have
found that with the Mac's Colorsync system, it can be *particularly*
easy, if needed. Repeat after me: 'the Mac was made for me'.....
The best things about Mac OS X in this area are that ColorSync is
built-in, the Apple screens are top notch and well characterized by
existing profiles, and nearly all of the printer/ink/paper systems
have good profiles supplied. It's pretty easy to figure out, much
easier to setup, very little fuss to maintain. Yet it doesn't put
anything in the way of going much much further if you care to.
Keep going with the mantra!
