Hi

As a (mostly) satisfied user of SG inks (and yes, I know some aren't :-)) I
really would recommend getting to understand the fundamentals of colour
management. It can take so much of the guesswork (and wasted paper) out of
printing - not that you'll stop testing, you have a better idea of what's
going wrong... You might want to try the Lyson fine-art profile, but best
results  (imho) with SG (like many other inks) come with a custom profile
(and a calibrated monitor).

I've collected references to a lot of this sort of stuff in the links
section at <http://northlight-images.co.uk/links.html> including some
downloadable chapters of books dealing with CM issues. Sorry if that¹s not a
quick solution, but it is a subject that needs some real thinking about -
but well worth it!

If there are any specific SG questions please let me know, since I only get
the digest version of this list.


bye for now
