David,
Thank you for your reply.Actually I print RPM only when using 
Pictorico Hi-Gloss White Film and just because it's suggested in the 
Pictorico site.I confess I never tried to see what happens with Best 
Photo on Hi-Gloss:that's a too much expensive paper for proofing :-)
Anyway, it's so easy to build profiles with PrintFix Pro that I think
I'll try to have one for each resolution setting.
