  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.
