Digital BW, The Print

Martin,

As to your first question, my best answer has to be at this point, I 
honestly don't know. I can get a very valid softproof of an image 
with Pauls curves turned on (you see the image as you should without 
the funky colors that the curves apply), but I haven't tried to tweak 
it enough yet to know if it will work as accurately as it should on a 
21 step grayscale to generate the curves. It takes my computer about 
10 to 15 minutes to generate a profile for the MIS Variable Tones, 
and upwards of 45 minutes for the Spectratones (color is almost 
immediate). So far I have just generated base profiles to see how it 
would work. Profiler RGB may not have enough power to get the profile 
accurate enough.

As to your second question, it is an Epson Expression 1600.
