Actually I am starting to look at prints as mentioned in my last message but what I want to ascertain is why when I am creating profiles using the Spyder3 it seems all the ones I have produced for matte papers are showing large areas of out of gamut colors in Photoshop. I would like to know whether that is symptomatic of some fundamental problem in my process or equipment or whatever... Obviously the best way to check the quality of profiles is to look at real prints but heh, paper doesn't grow on trees (well, not quite) and it ain't cheap !

So any problems I can address before getting to the hard print evaluation stage is going to save me time and money... both of which I am not rolling in right now...

Thanks
Rick
