thanks -- I'll check it out again.  I have not been using monitor 
proofing, since the monitor image of the workspace was predictably 
accurate when i was doing single black with Epson ink.  I tried to 
set one up using the instructions at Roy's site, but i could not get 
the monitor image to change until after i saved the curve, which 
meant more interations than i had patience for -- i guess i will just 
have to trudge to successs....

I have been using 5000K and 2.2, with daylite fluorescents, since 2.2 
is the 'standard' windows monitor gamma, and it works well for my 
color printing work.  I have sometimes used 1.8 when i print at 
2800dpi.

thanks again,
