I hope you will write another article sometime soon. As a photographer who prints his own work – living at the edge of nowhere 🙂 – I rely on great websites and blogs like yours to enlighten and inform me, especially during the many trials of the digital print process! Keep up the good work and please write another topic soon. Your site is very informative. Thanks.
Very clear, useful and informative … without going into too much technical detail, so that it is understandable to people like me who do not have a background in color science.
Thanks!
