I had a feeling that the prints were the "true" image (in this case they were digital images enhanced with Alien Skin Exposure - GAF 500 warm filter). The image without the filter applied printed as a match to the monitor. With the filter applied, the print was much more warm and wide-range than the monitor. That must be where the monitor ran out of gamut. I think. I have a feeling this is going to cost me, but at least I will be patriotically stimulating what is left of the economy.
