Hi.
I use S2 with PC, and printing on Agfa D-Lab (sRGB gamma 1,8) and Epson 1290 (same as 1280) with third party papers and inks.

I get good results with Agfa minilab but don't know how to set policy for my workflow when I have two output devices.

Here are the questions:

- S2 with jpeg is sRGB colour space but what colour space should I choose in converter when shot RAW?

- shotting RAW for Agfa - sRGB and gamma 1,8 but what about Epson? Colour gamut with Epson and Lyson inks is probably wider than RA4 paper and I have no idea what gamma have Epson.

- Shotting RAW for Agfa - I set g 1,8 but what if I choose Epson. Should I do everything (converting, editing) again but with setting Adobe 1998 and gamma 2,2?

- Have no idea how to organize my colour management and keep my workflow simple and efficient.

- What are maximum capabilities of Epson used with Lyson ink which have wider gamut than Epson inks? What gamma and colour space setting will let me acheve maximum quality?

- If everything goes smooth already with Agfa printer what is the best (or what is the simple) way to correct Epson so it will print with the same colors without changing ICC tags in jpegs?
