Ruben, that's where my confusion about the CM workflow comes in. 1) You have a working space (Let's say Adobe RGB 1998) 2) You have a printer (with their own profile) I thought the whole point of CM was that: you use your working space on your calibrated screen but when you want to output on something else, then you use another profile. But if you use another profile on your calibrated screen other than your usual working profile, then the colors will look different (because the other profile was intended for printing, not viewing on your screen). So if you change the way things look on your screen, it will come out wrong on the printer (because you have adjusted according to the view on your screen, but your screen is using a profile for a printer). I know you print (in books) a lot of delicate stuff where color is very critical, so I know I'm just misunderstanding this somewhere along the line. Daniel
