I find that to get optimal color from a Frontier it is necessary to send them 
a color target first, and build a custom profile for the device. The 
difference this makes ranges from modest (if they profile the machine 
themselves, but with some other brand of software) to huge (if they do not 
profile their machine, and currently most don't)... but even at major shows 
where Fuji has their own experts running demo Frontiers, my ProfilerPRO 
profiled prints are noticably better than anything they can produce. Not 
their fault, I just use software that is better for this...

So what I'm really saying here is: Hey, you know those color control issues 
we have been dealing with for years with Epsons? Do you expect them to 
magically disappear just because the machine is somewhere else?
