Hi,

Please could someone help to answer a question.

My setup is:

Screen: Dell LCD 1703FP
OS: Windows XP
Screen Calibration: Spyder3 Elite - 2.2/6500k
Printer: Epson 3800
Printer Profiling Device: Spyder3 Print
Paper: Epson Archival Matte Paper
Inkset: Epson Ultrachrome (standard with this printer)

I have built a printer profile for this printer/paper/ink combination.
In fact I built 3 profiles:

1) From the Expert + Grays target (4 sheets altogether) - Take
measurements after 1 day drying time
2) From the Expert + Grays target (4 sheets altogether) - Take
measurements after 2 days drying time
3) Average the two profiles above

On all 3 profiles when I soft proof the image in Photoshop CS3 there
are a lot of areas showing as gray (Out of Gamut) which do not appear
as such when I soft proof using the Epson canned profile (Pro38 ARMP).

Noticeably these are in the darker areas: Dark blues, greens,
blacks/greys, purples, browns. The colours which seem ok (in Gamut)
are yellows, cyans and generally the lighter shades.

If I print a test image (Using the Photodisc colour test image) using
the profiles, the colours are definitely better with the Spyder3
profiles but I am concerned about why there are so many grey/Gamut
warning areas on the soft-proof... 

Please could someone advise ?

Thanks in advance,
Rick
