Datacolor User to User Support Group.

Thanks again for considering my situation.

Are you saying that in  the examples you cited that these outfits
ended up switching back to using the Epson RGB driver and the PFP
profiles from their previous use of imageprint?  That's quite
interesting.  

I have to admit that I am not totally sold on the IP interface but it
does work & I do like the Phatte black option.  (I am not particlaurly
keen to go back to the Epson driver & Qimage...) Being able to profile
the IP output  with the Phatte black option would have been my first
choice but I understand that that isn't really a viable option.

Interesting stuff.
