I've read and understood, so I'm just going to choose 5K+ and LLC and
LLM, or 6k+ and blue.
last quetion, slightly OT (perhaps)

"I use Gray Gamma 2.2 for my working space. So that prints edited in this
working space match the prints through IJC, I use an adjustment layer that
coordinates the view on the monitor with the IJC output. The Photoshop
curve
for this layer is in the above files along with the profiles."

I used this "trick" and it works perfectly with files that are totally
postproduced or shooted by me, but if I get a file from someonelse
it's hard to match what he saw in his monitor (good calibrated
monitor, as mine): I suppose cause the default grayspace is dotgain
15% and not graygamma 2.2, but anyway how can I tell them to operate
to give me a correct file (ie tell them to set default space to gg22),
or am I suppose to work first with dotgain15% and reach the same
visual appearence moving then to graygamma 2.2?
