I use a Mac (four of them, actually), and am also a firm believer in Ted's KISS principle. I've had to dink with color management with other printers I've used, Epson and Canon, but with the 7960 I've left the color management to the default, ie automatic, settings beyond selecting the paper type. For black and white prints, which are about 50% of my personal stuff, I manually select the paper type (premium plus glossy), let it use "best" for the quality, and select "greyscale" for the color, all in the print dialog box. The prints are better than any inkjet I've ever seen, and better than most of the BW I used to be able to print when I had a darkroom set up. I've also noticed the swelling of the paper, but this settles down a lot as the print fully dries. Will von Dauster
