Digital BW, The Print

You only need GPS with color inks. It is a color ICC profiler.

I can only make profiles that are QTR compatible but not editable. I can't make profiles for StudioPrint - but I can make individual ink channels that take the place of profiles and I can run SP in up to 8 individual channels.

But SP has a linearization function for up to seven shades of ink. They supported Piezography until Epson pulled the plug on that (X880 printers last supported Piezo models.)

There are a total of seven shades of monochromatic ink that can be combined into a "profile". It is possible to combine up to three individual inks into one "shade" - its rich in terms of b&w.
