A very few high end ones can manage 98% of AdobeRGB. ProPhoto of course is MUCH larger. You can have your file in a broader space, typically AdobeRGB or even ProPhotoRGB and a good printer can reproduce more colours than the monitor can show. You won't see all of those on your screen. You can see where they occur via clipping warnings in ACR for example. Open a file and try changing the output colour space and watch the preview. Of course as you are aware your transmissive monitor will never exactly match a reflective print, but it should be close enough for soft proofing functionality.

I am having some printing problems with some pretty wide-range images, and the suggestion has been made that although my monitor is properly calibrated, it cannot show the full color gamut of the image (Adobe RGB). It is a Samsung 213T with a GEForce 6600 dvi card. Any comments appreciated! Ken _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
