Hi Chris,
Thanks a lot for the reply.
Sheesh, printing is surely a mess. Seems like it's even worse than described
in the thread Tom Lianza started awhile back.
As I recall, he described the chaos among OS & applications re: color
managed printing. It seems that even within the Adobe family, no two apps
output color consistently.
I guess all this is more incentive to tell my clients they must use a RIP to
get control over color...
Regards,
John
