Okay, so, i just re printed the targets using the high dpi and most optimal
settings, and the prints look pretty much the same.
Just to test around, i printed some targets to build an rgb profile for my
pro100, and tested both my non brand glossy paper, and my agfa proofpaper.
I haven't measured them yet, but they do not look very different at all.
But i noticed that the targets on RGB look far brighter and using more
color range than the targets i have for CMYK. Is this normal?
