think this proves i need icc profile -
Just went to do some irish themed mouse mats - obviously with lots of green in it - totally washed out looking - nothing like the rich green colour on screen at all - anything thats green, even clipart with green in it looks washed out....
didnt even bother to print them onto a mat - it was that bad !

Stoll on paul - my letterbox is waiting bud:wink:

lol :) you realy CAN not judge the paper buddy. go on and print it. dont use all mouse matt. use a smaller image so you can test on this same mouse matt more then once. even with profile you will find out how odd your print look like on paper :)
