I saw one of Greg Gorman's B&W prints from the 7600 at MacWorld expo and came very close to canceling my 7600 order on the basis of it, until some people on the 9000 list reassured me. I kept the order in and have been very happy with my printer, but I'm still confused about that print. The rep at the Epson booth was all gushing about how Gorman had sold the print for $10,000, but I went around to look at it and was struck with a distinct emperor's new clothes feeling. The print had weak blacks, a cyan cast, and some pretty major crossovers. Do you know what he was using to profile his printer?
