Hi Bob, I'm not looking to go to press with these images but to use the iProof prints for my own portfolio. The iProof is a 6 colour inkjet and has to date produced very acceptable outputs of great quality which have in general been accurate to what I see on screen. The problem is that I am unable to achieve an acceptable conversion either on screen or in print from a set of images with quite saturated blues and so I am fairly sure that the problem lies in the conversion or the tweeking of it. > Have you tried ignoring Euroscale settings and testing an "out of gamut" RGB > to CMYK non-profiled conversion.

Thanks, we'll also have a look at that. Regards Sam =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
