I am using both Mac and windows using QI

Macbook pro 17" and I have a 30" cinema, I have no problem getting great prints from my Lab.

Yes, its working, not the problem

I have printed out so many pics now and its basically they are just good, not as good as I expected.

I will however print out the sample picture.

I wanted them to be better than my HP and I can see now thats not going to happen. If I didn't have prints from it to compare I probably would be happy and not have known the difference. I thought the 6 colors and the hi res printing output would do it, but I guess the 8 colors of the 3000 would have given more depth like my 8 color HP. I knew I should have gone the r3000 route, especially getting great B&W.s but I am cheap and hated the idea of it wasting ink when you changed over and the cost of inks are a lot more. I liked the cheap inks on the r2000 that are available.

However I wanted to be able to push my prints in selling them which are better than the lab produces but at this point I cant honestly do that.

I have the latest drivers installed.

IN QI under Edit, then color management the box opens.

Where it says monitor color space thats my calibrated monitor profile. .ICC I use sRGB, not changing that.

Then printer profile, I have this, C:\Windows\system32\spool\drivers\color\SPR2000 Premium Glossy.icc

Is that correct?
