Re: [Digital BW] Soft-proof "profile" for Piezotones?

2009-05-06 by Mark Savoia

You are always the guy of reason. I don't know why I want to do this  
either. This always happens when a new client wants to "outfox" me  
thinking he has a better way to do it. And you are right, 99% of  
clients don't know how to use it anyway, while 99% never need me to  
make any adjustments to their files, it IS almost perfect. Damn I hate  
when your right!

Although I appreciate the grounding, you can NOT have my DTP-41 :)
