What devices can display a wider gamut than sRGB?
Most printers are physically able to display a wider gamut than sRGB. This is one of the main reasons why technologies such as Print Image Matching (PIM), the follow on Exif Print exist. For an example comparison of printer gamut vs. sRGB gamut, check out page 7 of this document from Epson. The main problem in displaying colors outisde of the sRGB gamut with your printer is software, but this has been getting easier with improved print drivers, printer firmware, and plugins that support PIM and/or Exifprint. For example, print drivers for some recent HP printers allow you to indicate the colorspace of your document. Alternatively, you can try to get a custom profile for printer/ink/paper combination, and use an ICC profile workflow. Beware of this shootsmarter article, which gives the impression that printers have smaller gamuts than sRGB, and implies that there is little benefit in trying to print colors outside of sRGB (as of 6/05). As you can see from the PIM and Epson documents abo
