Comparing the Fuji-provided profile to the "CV729" profile I 
generated yesterday - I soft-proofed the test image with all the 
babies on it using each profile - the CV profile has almost no gamut 
warnings (just a speck here & there) while the Fuji profile generates 
an appreciable amount of gamut warnings.

I'll try the other Gray Balance settings in the driver and see if I 
can reduce those gamut warnings even more - but at some point, good 
enough is good enough for me.

The other choices for Gray Balance are Gray1(2.2/9300) and Gray2
(1.8/6500).  Neither of those sound right to me, so I use the Gray3
(sRGB) setting.

Suggestion for a future release:  on my Pictro, I physically cannot 
feed a sheet back thru the printer a second/third/fourth time.  In 
such a case the "quadrant printing" for the media settings check 
makes no sense at all.  How about giving the user the option to print 
those at full size?

Thanks,
Mike
