Thomas, Come on... profiling is just a tool at the end of the day. Sure some people's objective is to be able to proof for press; others are happy to be able to get the best out of their �400? printer to print a great portfolio / make art prints. Sure it's horses for courses. I would never suggest cross pollinating printer profiles; even between two identical printers. Thomas, you're the first to admit that ink / paper / printer driver mechanics is a constantly changing battle ground. So why not experiment and see what works best for your particular setup? There's no such thing as the wrong way to create your profile. The proof's in the pudding. Oh, one exception... if you're trying to proof for press (D-50) or someone else's setup a degree of standardised procedure is a recommended way forward. Here you need to rely on as many constants as possible. m./ =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
