Digital BW, The Print

Yep, I wouldn't put a lot of money on my results. I've never gotten good
(well, I've never gotten great) color results with my Profiler RGB and Astra
1200s combo either, but something may have been wrong in my workflow.

What I found was that if I used Dan's RGB soft proof method I could quickly
script a ball park curve from scratch (which shocked and scared me) by
previewing the curve, as I wrote it, through the profile. Unfortunately, the
profile did not preview Paul Roark's curves accurately, so I decided to just
let it go, and stay with what I know, for the moment. Perhaps I'll give it a
shot again (I mean an attempt, but as this is Dan's approach, I suppose any
shot should be of Absolute <g>) in the not too distant future. It's
definitely worth pursuing for anybody who plans to be writing their own RGB
separation curves, but I'm woefully too lazy for that at this moment.
