Some of us are not so blessed with color eyeballs :P Shockingly enough, some of these base solutions are the foundation for exacting standards. Somewhere I found the plans for a simple ice in a stryfoam cup and describes the spot at which the water can exist as a gas, a liquid, and a solid coined the tripple point, which ends up being a far more precise method than more costly existing calibration methods. Actually i'm surprised there isn't something on the market that would make use of color charts, scanners, and through scanning output make a reccomendation for either a slide adjustment or a sRGB curve. Simple enough technique, very common tool, would be very useful and provide a meter rather than having to eyeball it.

From: Satoshi on 23 Jun 2005 12:11 I found this morning that there were too many responses to my question. Here is my response to bmoag > The easiest way to print with Canon is to throw the Canon printer away and > buy an Epson In the past I used a few Epson printers. I love Epson printers but because of its persistent clogging, I dumped Epson and bought Canon printers. If you recommend an Epson printer which does not clog, I love to buy one. Regarding printing matter, it does not matter whether I use Photoshop, Corel Draw, or Irfanvuew, their printing patterns are the same. So long as I set "Plain Paper" mode, no problem If I set to photopaper, glossy, or high resolution paper mode, PM ink flows too much. Thanks.
