Thank you Mike for responding.
So the LightJet is a more capable "printer/media" combination than the
Frontier, in terms of sheer color gamut? You say it is roughly the "size" of
AdobeRGB? Is this a determination you made by inspecting the two profiles in
a 3D viewing utility like Chromix ColorThink?
