Thanks for the info. 5K did seem a bit of a reach. 6hrs in a
"moderately dim" room today tuning settings wasn't my idea of a good
time.

LR is giving us fits with its printing foibles. I sure hope LR3 fixes
their printing issues. I tried printing the same image with the same
settings using LR2.6, PSCS4 and Qimage today using application managed
color and relative colorimetric intent. PS/Qimage were identical in
their output to my eyes, LR was an outlier.

More work tomorrow to try to track down the differences. We had LR and
PS printing identically a few months ago. No idea what changed.
