Hello Neil
Thanks for the reply.
About color management with Gimp-print, could you tell me if i am right:
i can use Photoshop or colorsync utility to colormanage from my image
space (AdobeRGB) to a supposed printer space.
But to what printer space ?
I don't have the printer space profile (given with Epson Mac Os9
drivers: "Epson Stylus Pro 7500 watercolor...") in my list, should i
install it manually (as we do on PCs) ?
Then i should do adjustment for the paper if i use matte instead of
watercolor ?
Or if want to make my own profile, is there a chance to get something
correct starting with the wrong paper information given to the printer
?
Also, thanks for the link to Epson Yahoo's group, i'll have a look
Thanks a lot
Denis
