C.D.

Haven't gotten the 8000 yet but starting to get my ducks in a row 
when it comes to profiling.  

I will be using Hahnemeuhle Photo Rag, William Turner and Breathing 
Color Chromata canvas on the new Canon.  Do you recommend profiling 
these paper types with the Canon driver or the Photoshop export 
module.  I have heard that there are much better results to be had 
from the 16bit export module.  Is that your experience?  

Lastly I am assuming that the export module cannot be used with 
Qimage like the Canon driver...  What can you tell me on these issues?
