I've got an R800 and have profiled it with no issues sending it an
RGB target and building an RGB profile. Am I missing something? Of
course I'm not using PosterPrint (or any RIP) but rather the Epson
Quickdraw driver.
Good point -- the Epson driver does the conversion from RGB to CMYKRB
for you. BTW, does the red and blue ink significantly improve the
gamut (or anything else)?
