Digital BW, The Print

JimD:

I'm not sure that PiezoBW will in fact yield prints closer to WYSIWYG 
than the RGB partitioned workflow.

Seems it is a matter of how you setup your monitor.  It is my 
understanding that PiezoBW has you adjust your monitor (with dot 
gain) to match the output -- this seems to imply that the print is 
*accurate*.  My calibrated monitor (PhotoCal and Spyder) seems to 
match the prints I make with no extra monitor tweaking.  I use gamma 
2.2 and 6500K whitepoint for editing and printing.

Are your prints not close to WYSIWYG now?  I suppose you could apply 
a transfer curve to your saved image so that the output would match 
your screen if you are not satisfied--although this may not really be 
that much different in overall effect than tweaking the monitor 
dotgain.

Good Luck.
