Thanks Paul - I was at first puzzled by exactly what you say above - 
and in your written guidance. You say "I'd be sure the color 
management is in "No Color Adjustment" (after hitting "ICM")".  I 
hadn't realised that the ICM check box you refer to is on the front 
tab of the driver whilst the "No Colour Settings" is under the 
Advanced button.  I actually ticked ICM on the advanced page, and 
noticed that the No Colour Adjustments was not selected - so I 
thought that was it.  BUT, clearly I was printing with ICM switched 
on - but presumably with whatever colour adjustment it saw fit to do.

I've tried a print or two using curves and - they do exactly what 
they are supposed to do.

So, the moral for me here is "FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS - TO THE 
LETTER" ... !

Thanks Paul.

BTW, everything I've seen and experienced about the 2100 says it's 
the same as the 2200 - but then I can't follow instructions so who 
am I to say!  Does anyone know different?
