Roy asks: : : Can the Fuji Frontier on Fuji Crystal paper print more colors (i.e a : larger gamut) than Adobe98 color space? a simple question, not a simple answer http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_space and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_translation#Color_translation - look to Color translation i'm guessing you want to know whether an inkjet has more colour than an RA4? answer- ys and no the colour spaces we use on computers are very different to those used in traditional analogue printing. Sort of like the color range (brightness range?) of slide Vs neg print films.. and most are geared toward the RGB presentation rather than the print, with colour translation kicking in at the crossover. for example, people saw a huge brighness range on slide films but then these were printed the colours desaturated, the contrast would clip and the results were disappointing - neg film had a much, much larger brightness range but was often criticized as being 'flatter'.. Polaroid had a fantastic rapid process slide film with a brightness range approaching neg film but it was largely ignored as being flat and ugly.. a shame, it exceeded the capture quality of every other slide film on the market. RA4 papers generally have a much greater gamut than inkjets/dye sub/laser printers could produce but then there were some flat RA4 papers .. and the new Canon dye inkset is beating some of the old papers for gamut now. on that last point, the photographers with a passion for archiving generally are happy to forgo a decent colour gamut in favour of longevity. It's really more device dependant than simply talking about the working colour space, and at this stage aside from the new Canons which can knock out colours RA4 never could*, RA4 generally has a broader gamut that inkjets * greens and yellows exceede RA4, blues are a constant failure with inkjets k
