Original vs. soft-proof

[Skye]

Thanks, guys, for your replies.

Below are the pics from this afternoon's testing - not sure if it helps though.

It does confirm that the colours I'm getting don't match my screen & explains why i've been having issues printing photos.

They show that the colours are not really changing with the different time/temp combinations (save the black going brown at 190 degrees).
Is this normal?

170 degrees 80 sec - very clear print [ATTACH=CONFIG]2427[/ATTACH], at 100 sec started to blur, at 120sec blurred. At 50 sec still ok and first time that didn't scorch the paper

155 degrees 80 sec . [ATTACH=CONFIG]2423[/ATTACH] Can't see any noticeable difference from the above. (very similar result at 150 degrees 60 sec)

went mad and tried 190 degrees 60 sec. [ATTACH=CONFIG]2428[/ATTACH] too hot - blacks very definitely brown, but the rest of the colours seem the same

Tried the other end of the scale - 140 degrees 60 sec. [ATTACH=CONFIG]2426[/ATTACH] Surprised that it printed at all as I thought the ink didn't sublimate at this temp
