There is no "ink saver" option or the like and DPI is set to 600. I can't find any colour profile in windows and I don't know where to look for similar file in Fedora. However, I find in the printing settings values like Saturation = 100%, Hue adjustment = 0 and Gamma = 1000. Tweaking these values does change the colour impression somewhat but I haven't found the "correct" combination. So I assume I'll have to continue tweaking until I am satisfied. I wish there were a description on how to. -- Erik -- users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
