Hi,

I would expect that most GutenPrint users on this list also use their

Hehe, I guess I'm an exception then.
As long as you turn off its inbuilt colour corrections, Gutenprint's RGB
output (on 6-colour photo-inkjets at least) is remarkably well-behaved
and for photographic output the results are good enough that I've not
felt the need to deal with the much larger number of patches needed to
adequately sample the CMYK space.
I will admit, however, that I tend to tweak the target manually before
printing and add some extra patches in known trouble-spots, to provide
increased coverage of the grey-axis, for instance.
All the best,
