[Leica] printing with R800

[philippe.orlent at pandora.be (Philippe Orlent)]

Reid, as in The Barkeepers's Daughter Reid?

If you printed it with the right profile and your screen is  
calibrated, plus the fact that you've already made succesful prints   
of this image before, even out of guarantee, I'd send it back.
In such case, there is at least something wrong with the blacks curve  
tto ink ranslation, which is unacceptable.
Provided you kept your printer and inks dust- and extreme temperature  
free.
Is suspect it lacks a heap of blue, too.

Philippe (O.: there's a very good -and regular reader and poster- A  
(pseud. phx) ., too.)
