Digital BW, The Print

Hi Tyler,
It would be nice to have an extended gray chart. I really would not know which of the other optimization files to try and it looks like they may only be good for smaller sample sizes. I do not know  if I want to go much smaller.
I think I will contact X-Rite on Monday and see what they have to say. It seems to me that this should not be that difficult to identify a color cast in a print and correct it, but I am having a great deal of trouble.
Thank you,
Jim

     You are correct that the gray component tools and a variety of other profile building options affecting ink makeup in neutrals are only available when making CMYK profiles, for a CMYK driver like a RIP. You can however improve gray neutrality in RGB profiles with i1Publish by optimizing with a large neutral and near neutral patch set. I have one that was in circulation for some time, then it disappeared, I thought it was made available on the xrite site, but I don't easily find it there. 
There are these you might take a look at-

But I can't vouch for them from personal experience. Any of this depends on owning i1Publish of course. For those using the Datacolor software, I believe there is a similar extended patch set for more accurate neutrals.
If you have the xrite software and want the extended gray chart that used to be available, email me and I'll see what I can do. There are usually some proprietory reasons things like this suddenly disappear from the internet.
