Hi Dan,
Another issue is that Fierys are "balck boxes" and you never quite know
what's inside. Unfortunately what is inside the Epson boxes is not as
flexible as what is inside some other versions, and does not offer the same
flexibility with CMYK profiles, since it is returning to the Epson screens,
losing all black channel data. So its dangerous to make assumtions based on
one Fiery and apply those to a similar looking box with different firmware.
