Thank you so much for your reply! Before asking here on the mailing list I sent two sample files two my printer, the first with the Screen/Web setting, the second with the Printer setting as I mentioned here with my first post. In the meantime he came back saying that the Screen/Web file does not include a color profile and that I should not use it; the other one seems to be correct for him. For me your answer seems to make very much sense, but is it possible to include a sRGB profile when I export with the Screen/Web setting? Thank you again and best regards Bernd
