Digital BW, The Print

I've finally gotten around to playing with this more...

There seems to be something WAAAAY funky about the ICM profile Canon is 
using...

If I choose Manual color adjustment and select ICM matching, that, 
according to Canon should give me the closest color fidelity from and 
ICC/ICM app like Photoshop...  all well and good..

BUT, if things are implemented logically, I should be able to convert to 
that ICM  profile w/in PShop itself and then output to the printer with 
NO color adjustment as my selection in the printer driver...

Well, that that does not work..

If I do that, my image is waaay dark..

However, with ICM checked in the driver, there is no difference in the  
output image whether I apply the ICM (convert the profile) w/in PShop or 
not...

This could make profiling other media a real pain in the butt!

The question will be:

Do I:

a)    Create profiles for individual media leaving all the color 
adjustment at none?  (in which case I will probably custom profile all 
the Canon media as well)

b)    Create profiles with ICM checked on? (in which case I take the 
chance of losing colors in the double conversion that will then likely 
be taking place -- once in PShop & once in the driver)

I'm leaning towards the first option.  Thoughts?

If so, it looks like it's time to get a Spyder and Photo Suite Pro...
