Paul,

My memory is similar to what you did with the layer: in PS Elements you can just drag the layer to your print.

It would be nice if MIS mixed the toner. They could make money if they charged an amount needed to cover the Canon pigment cost -- not that much used. They probably just need feedback that the market is there. Large volume generic base users just mix their own. If you're used to wide format costs, the cost of the Canon pigs is no big deal. They'll last a long time.

Thanks, Paul, I'll add that to some of your other pdf's I've downloaded and printed out.

Allow me to clarify... I was wondering how to actually incorporate the GG22-to-QTR.tiff curve in my photo. Here's what I did:

I went to Preferences (am using PS Elements 9) and checked "Allow Floating Documents in Full Edit Mode". Then I opened both my photo and the tiff curve until both were visible in the work area. I activated the curve file so it appeared in the Layers Palette. I dragged the icon for the curve over to the photo, and I noticed a slight darkening in the shadows. Saved it to the same file name but with "QTR" added. Is this the workflow you recommend?

Print came out beautifully. Don't know why I got away from using that curve... I was in the habit of using it with my former inkset and printer (the 3MK/1800) folder. Do you use it no matter what inkset?

I'll not worry about the warmth issue for now. You've already mentioned this, but it would help a lot if MIS sold those Canon blue and cyan inks in small quantities.

Thank you,

Paul W.
