Just because Fotonic behaves in a particular fashion it doesn't automatically mean that SG will (au contraire). It's sort of like saying because the gearbox on my 4 year old Rover broke down, all gearboxes ona all cars made by that company and it's subsidiaries will break down after 4 years. (In colour management related issues take NOTHING for granted <G>). I take it you have played with the paper settings and printing modes (Photorealistic various gamma settings, no color adjustment etc)? > > Has anyone actually 'made that case' and created those custom patches and > data files for SG inksets ? Not to the best of my knowledge - it's not something easily accomplished. You may be better off asking that question on the colorsync listserver (www.apple.com) though.
