[alt-photo] Re: Epson 3880 and Snow Leopard

[Doug Taylor]

Kees,

I read your earlier post referring to the work around posted on  
Luminous Landscape. One question for you please; while I have not  
upgraded to Snow Leopard yet (still using OS 10.5.8) due to printing  
problems lots of folks seem to be having with SL, I'm currently  
printing using Perceptual Rendering Intent with Black Point  
Compensation checked. So if I use Relative Colorimetric and uncheck  
Black Point Compensation under Snow Leopard, will I introduce a slight  
change in how the final print looks compared to my current printing  
approach under Leopard?

Thanks,
Doug
