That's a very good guess, Wayne, and many comercial / pro shops
actually do this. Now, again, I am not sure how much of a difference
it makes for regular use, however for gallery prints etc., it's

There's an interesting book on the subject of color management called
"Real Wolframrld Color Management", 2nd ed.:

Recommended reading...despite the orthograpic error in the title.
