Do you (or anyone) happen to know what color temp the Atkinson profiles are 
balanced for?  (tungsten, daylight, etc)  I asked this earlier, but it probably got 
lost in the shuffle.

Also: here's a question for 9600 owners -- how often do you find yourself 
printing larger than 24 inches wide?  I ask b/c I'm wondering whether the 
9600 is the way to go, or if I should consider the 7600 instead.  I mean, 24 
inches wide is a big print.  On the other hand, if I'm going to do this wide-
format thing, I want to do it right.  And what's an extra $2000 for the 9600 
between friends anyway?  :-) 

So: if you own a 9600, how often would you say you're printing wider than 24 
inches? 10% of the time?  50%?
