Digital BW, The Print

Tony,

You are right and there is a lot of confusion over "profiles." The "paper
profiles" used internally by the Piezo driver are not ink/paper/printer
profiles such as you would buy for color inks from InkJetMall or make
yourself with profiling software.

I have not run across any profiling software, which all seems to be aimed at
the color printing market, that will produce a useable grayscale
ink/paper/printer profile. Profiler Pro will give you a profile that is
helpful in on screen viewing but is not good enough for printing. I have
heard that there is some very expensive profiling software that can make
useable grayscale printer profiles but I don't know what it is or who might
have it.

None of these would produce an internal Piezo "paper profile" which has to
be added to the Piezo plugin.
