I';m speaking of printers such as Durst, that print on standard wet process
color paper, not inkjets. Whatever gamut they can print, and that of color
paper is small, the internal working is done in sRGB, and can't take a
larger gamut file without conversion, which is a problem.
I see plenty of RA4 prints that were made from sRGB files that look to my
eye better than most inkjet prints from wide gamut machines. Don't know why,
but I'll bet contrast is part of it.
