Does gamut warning, custom mode, using the appropriate printer/ink/paper profile, show that the areas that are wrong are out of gamut? While it's not 100.00% perfect, I've found that usually when I remember to check, the areas I'm having serious trouble printing are in fact out of gamut. (R800 rather than R1800, but same inkset, just different carriage width.) I have had problems that I remember with highly saturated reds and a very deep saturated blue (almost-night sky); I don't recall doing anything with a really intense magenta, so my not remembering a problem doesn't mean anything much. -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b@xxxxxxxx; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info
