Digital BW, The Print

Hello Joe,

I noticed nobody answered you yet.  I'm sure it's not because you're
an untouchable or something, but more likely that so far no readers
have answers.  The particulars of inks and curves vary among printer
models, and your questions are specific to the 1200 and an older
version of PS.  It's also Friday night, so with the weekend coming up
there's a good chance someone will come along who can help.

I perhaps can answer one of your questions:
 
>1) Roark's workflow specifies "In the Epson driver, set 
>Print Space to Same as Source."  well, I would, but I 
>can't find this option on any of the set-up/print screens
>for either the Win95/98 or Win2000 print drivers.  And 
>what does this setting actually do?  

I don't know about 5.5 but in PS7 this is found in the menu under
Files\Print With Preview...

At the bottom of this preview window there's a picklist with two
choices, "Output" and "Color Management".  When you choose Color
Management the bottom of the window changes and gives you a picklist
of profiles.  One of these choices is "Same As Source".  These allow
you to alter the instructions to the printer by choosing a profile
that is different from the one imbedded in the image - basically you
can alter the resulting print without changing the image itself.

I hope this helps.
