Tyler,
you are right, except of course for the folks in Germany, France, England, Italy 
and Spain for whom labor day has something to do with May 1st. But I digress 
and the thread police is breathing down my neck...

Makes sense to me.

In either this or the RGB workflow where you rely on reading grayscale 
numbers,  be very careful with your gray setup.

I suggested it to Martin earlier in the thread. He figures that at $100 a pop, he 
could easily spend his money on farming out profiles and have nothing to 
show for it as hardware goes. And the whole thing is such a moving target 
anyway. What are we going to be arguing a few months from now - or a year?

I say, more time printing less time fiddling.
