I regularly find students who are printing a lot more than I, printing from Explorer on the macs.. when asked why the reply is that they get consistency with the output that they don't get from PS. At home I've also found more consistency printing from irfanview (shut up Greg...) than PS. I'd be inclined to say I was imagining things, and all the hype telling me that PS is supposed to be profiling data as it sends it to print and that everything is as it should be .. but I see irregularities too often to trust that the software is perfect. There were times when I found myself tooling around for ages trying to reprofile an image that printed perfectly a week ago and when I'd scrambled out of PS and into irfanview, I'd find the print came out spot on first time. There was nothing wrong with the image, there was nothing wrong with the printer, there was nothing wrong with the PC.. the only other culprit that springs to mind is the software! I may be talking out of my ear, and I'd really hate to be creating a myth, but I know's what I see's and I don't trust PS to print right ;-) Maybe a computer progam type person might be able to step in and tell us if there is any possibility that what I'm suggesting may be true.. Bob T ? you want to wade in on this? Just say if I'm talking bollocks. I won't be offended ! k
