Re: Toning Methods?

John,

when you choose ColorSync in the driver, what does it convert between?
It allegedly tries to automate the process of giving you on print what you see 
on your monitor. Maybe this was from earlier Epson drivers and I am incorrect 
on the present ones. What do you know for sure?

Thanks for pointing this out.
