Digital BW, The Print

Hello Michael Kravit,

I am in Houston, Texas.  As large as this city is,
there is nothing here of acquiring profiles or
anything else as specific as B&W printing with inkjet
printers...Would you please inform me as to how I can
contact Profile City...I would love to print neutral
B&W prints using my 1280 Epson printer using a G4 MAC,
Photoshop 6, Epson Archival Matte and Lustre paper
with Epson's regular dye inksets...Any information
will be appreciated...Thank you.

Grady Carter
