Digital BW, The Print

I just got off of the phone with Colorbyte Software, and the unlimited
profiles rumor is definitely true. Apparently, they already have a very
large number of Epson and third party papers already profiled.
 
The software might be shipping on Monday, and the desktop version will
be $495. Currently the Epson 2200 is the only desktop printer supported.

	First off, a scanner-based printer profile is not likely to do
justice to 
	your RIP and your 2200, especially for black and white. If
ColorByte is 
	truely going to build free, unlimited, profiles for everyone who
purchases 
	the low cost version of their RIP for the 2200, and if the
profiles are 
	actual, accurate ICC profiles, then thats the way to go... but
it seems 
	unlikely that they would. Wait until this shakes out before
looking any 
	further, and if you end up looking, investigate spectro-based
systems.
