Hi again!
    I think I am getting alot closer to my answer....
I have managed to establish that the colors in (the sky) my design are
"beyond my printer's profiled color gamut". OK...
    so what I need now is help finding my Cannon BJC4300 printer's
color profile...
( I think )  [as in "from disk"?]
    I am having a terrible time figuring out where to find this
profile.
can anyone suggest a way that I can find it -- or at least let me know
what kind of file I am searching for?

any help out there?
(the Cannon site is not able help right now - they are in North
Carolina...Hurricane Central right now! - wouldn't ya know it!!)

I got the impression from the help files I printed ("Reproducing
colors accurately") out of Corel that if I can get this profile
plugged into Corel then it may be able adjust my on-screen colors to
as close to the actual printed colors I wil get as possible.

any suggestions on finding these profiles or in getting the colors I
have already in my design to adjust to within the printable gamut of
my Cannon BJC-4300 are desperately needed!!!

Thanks a Million!!
Amy
