Roy,

Thanks.

I can understand the moving target issue; makes perfect sense.

Best regards,

John Moody

Yes, gimp-print has been renamed Gutenprint. I've kind of kept up with what they
are doing but haven't actually used any of the newer stuff. Most of what they have
added is not relevant. I've spent more time with accurate calibration than they have.

Rather than constantly chasing a ever moving target I feel the best strategy is to
stick with a known quantity to make the most stable product.
