A fine aspiration, but (imho) I think it misses the point that colour management is not always something people easily get to grips with. Just informing them to go away until they have learnt a certain minimum level of expertise is not a feeling I'd share. Sure, have a FAQ and point members to it, but remember that none of us were born with the knowledge :-)) :-)) It may be a slight annoyance to some when the questions get asked, but I for one will often offer information off list. I get a lot of useful information from lists like this, and like to give as well as take. The original post mentioned that the B/W requirements were only for a few prints - not necessarily worth profiling for. There is considerable interest in printer profiling and many more would go the full custom route if they saw the results. I have been pleasantly surprised by the level of interest that my review of ColorVision's PrintFIX DIY profiling system <http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/printfix1.html> has generated (sufficient for my web host to mutter about bandwidth usage :-)) bye for now Keith Cooper =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
