<div>So you are proposing that 'ink settings' are one of the printer setup characteristics that exist in a workflow data container, and then also can be pulled into a profile as it is built using the particular ink settings. </div>
<div> </div><div>How about a function that supports "selectively initialize the printer setup for this new profile - including ink settings -- from this x existing profile"?<br clear="all"></div><div> </div>

Ann,<br>
<br>
I have no problem with a profile "containing" ink settings, as you<br>
wisely recommend. In fact I consider it to a most excellent idea that<br>
will simplify workflows, and prevent many current user errors.<br>
<br>
However I do think ink settings ALSO need to be able to exist without<br>
the profile since the ink settings precede the profile, and since it<br>
is extremely advantageous to be able to adopt the ink settings from<br>
some known paper as a quick starting point to work with another paper.<br>
Ink settings, as we agree do precede profiles, and therefore need to<br>
be able to exist and be invoked independently of profiles.<br>
