Fair enough - and I tend to agree - I'm just trying to figure out what we can do within the bounds of the current infrastructure, and whether, or to what extent, we need new facilities! > So someone might want to create a preset bundle that includes > linearization curves and other settings for a particular paper type, > resolution, and ink set (e. g. photo or matte inks). I think a user > should be able to do that just as well as an administrator. In the scenario I outlined, a user is able to do that. The sticking point is that actually *installing* it, so that the changes can be used via the CPD, would require admin rights. > Note that the preset bundle may actually be a large amount of data. Yes indeed. All the best, -- Alastair M. Robinson
