PDumperc6 was part of Spacetech's photoreal driver so won't work on the Iyonix!

I was going to say that the bjc7000 or 7100 PDF that comes with Iyonix is
the one to use but there isn't one!

My recollections are the same.

I then looked at the complete Photoreal real package from Spacetech and found:

* Two printer definition files are supplied with this package:
* -------------------------------------------------------------
* The 7000photo is  only to be used with Canon Photo ink (BC-62photo).  These
* definitions make use of spacetech's proprietary colour matching and printing 
* techniques. Best results will be obtained when printing on Canon HR101 high
* resolution coated ink jet paper or Epson Photo paper (S041140)

* The other printer definition file BJC7000 is for use with standard ink
* (BC-61) and uses the conventional Acorn printer driver mechanism to provide
* colour matching and halftoning.

The only problem being on the Photoreal disc I have here the only PDF's are:
BJC-7000 & BJC-7100, they both use PDumperC6

I have though tracked down a PDF that I wrote (Which I'd forgotten about)
which we sell!
It uses PDumperCX which you will have as standard on the Iyonix.
