No, it's common to all the printers. Think of it: your view of the file 
in Photoshop is going to be the same for all papers? That is not 
possible since the normal Photoshop view is optimized for the 
characteristics of your monitor white and black and, since the IP 
grayscale profiles cannot be used for the Photoshop Proof Colors 
facility, you must make some other adjustment to make the Photoshop 
view match the print. Either your monitor is not calibrated correctly 
and your Photoshop view happens to match the paper by chance or you're 
not very sensitive to viewing tonalities (no insult intended). Have a
