Hi Inno'
I'm going to Have to join in here.
I n anearler mail you mentioned setting the workingspacve to LCD colour, this is not a
good idea for many reasons.
e.g.
no compatability outside your own system
non linearity of spaces other than <workingspaces> resulting in
unpredicatable editing.

2100 with Ultrachrome inks is a nice printer. Jack uses 7600 and 9600,
the big sisters. They print in a very simlar way when all are set up right.

there is NO WAY that this is true.
no monitor I know of will display all printable colours. many monitor
colours cannot be printed, the 2 circles of this venn diagram are not
overlapping.
In the gamut stakes even a Powerbook has a pretty small range, of
course you may be dealing with only colours which are within both
printer and monitor gamut.
A Powerbook is an adequate device for non critical (non-professional)
image viewing, it may <suffice> but will come nowhere near the full
colour range of a properly profiled 2100.
Gamut maps from the devices easily prove the point.

Well, no.
Using a Display system with a larger gamut (colour range) enables the
image creator to view his output more accurately.
