Bernie:

Are you sure your image is in sRGB color space and you set your 
printer space profile to Same As Source?  I work in AdobeRGB and 
sometimes forget to convert to sRGB. All of Paul Roarks curves are 
setup to work with sRGB.  Paul, in another post somewhere, said that 
this is an artifact of history and if he had to do it again he'd go 
with AdobeRGB.
