The profiles used to print B&W are special and supplied by ColorByte. I saw 
the target they use (it's included) so you can send them the output to build a 
profile for non supported papers. It's just printing grays. So there is no way I 
could use say ProfileMaker Pro's color target to build a profile and use in this 
mode. I think for regular color output, you'd simply send the ProfileMaker 
target though the RIP and once built, place in the folder where IP looks for it's 
profiles. But I'm thinking that may not be necessary. IF IP's color profiles are 
half as good as the B&W ones, there may be no need to build profiles.
