RE: Conversion of Colorsync profiles for use on PC?

["Paul D. DeRocco" <pderocco@ix.netcom.com>]

This doesn't make sense to me. Since I have no Mac, I'm merely going by the
descriptions of the driver that have been posted here. I was under the
impression that you selected different media in the Mac driver merely by
selecting a different profile. If this is true, then the different ink loads
are encoded into the profile, and the profile translates to a fixed RGB
space that is independent of the media type. In this case, applying this
print profile in Photoshop _and_ changing the media type in the Windows
driver would appear to be doing a double compensation for the media.
