Absolutely NOT true. There have usually been "hacks" available to turn off
the printers propensity for sRGB. If you can do that you get a greatly
increased
gamut. Unfortunately I don't know the "current hack", so I'd advise calling
their TechSupport people and ask how to disable sRGB for your particular
Frontier printer and software version. (It's NOT PRETTY!!!)
It's not the paper it's the gamut they chose!
