i neglected to take into account the different gammas i'm operating at. for true wysiwyg prints, i have to use gamma 2.0 on adobe 1998 profile. for ibm pc's, the gamma is 1.8 i believe and 2.2 on the mac machines. plus, most applications don't process adobe profiles, so the colors are off here. sorry folks. i'll change it when i get the chance.
