I've been doing some more reading. I should probably give a little more info here. I shoot with 5d3 and print now with the 9500/II from TIF file copies. I use FastStone for viewing, PS Elements 11 for editing, and I print from Canon Easy PhotoPrint. A few years back I bought a box of photo rag paper and the results were awful. Something tells me that ICC profiles had a hand in that. Perhaps if I can get this figured out I can pull that paper back out from storage.

I've read a bucketload of reviews on the Datacolor Spyder. Most good, some not so much. I still don't actually understand what it does but many reviewers said that it was invaluable in matching their colors from monitor to printer. If that's the case, it sounds like I need to bite on one of these.

Again, thanks to all. gary
