    Sorry Paul, straight over my head! I have a designer in-house so don't do these things myself much when it comes to PS and profiles etc. How do you check what is in gamut with PS? Don't you need the colormunki thing as well?

    That's a big "if" for those of us who can't afford Photoshop. I've looked around for separate tools to check for out of gamut colours but, so far, I haven't found one.

    However, the final print isn't necessarily reliant on whether a colour is out-of-gamut more than how the printer deals with out-of-gamut colours. For that you need to look into rendering intents.

    For example, if you use the common "perceptual" rendering intent - all of the colours you print will shift in order to map the out-of-gamut colours to their nearest in-gamut colour in order to maintain the relationship between colours. The colorimetric rendering intents preserve in-gamut colours and either clip or map out-of-gamut colours. This is why the former is better for photos, and the latter is better for designs of few colours (but it does depend on the image you're printing and what colours it contains).

    Hi Paul,
    what a great idea - please could you send me the file for this mug so that I can create one and put it on my shelf - i have been wondering the best way to show what colours can be achieved etc and this seems a great solution.
    Thank you

    Just ran this off on my S21...P50 and B1100 Paul :-) P50 and B1100 are matched as they have been profiled recently. Thing that strikes me is the ladies trousers have come out very dark blue almost black on all of my prints. Just wondering how this compared to everyone else's test print?

    I get none of the crease detail in the trousers at all.
