Digital BW, The Print

I have been very happy with Colorbyte's profiles thus far and am sure
that the ones that you used are excellent also.
Do you see profiling software (i.e. ProfileMaker Pro, etc) incorporating
grayscale targets and profiling in the future?

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.
