Digital BW, The Print

I'm from Norway so the balancer came bundled with my printer. IMO 
you're not missing out on anything. It's very useful for removing 
gross color casts from your BW prints, but don't expect anything more 
than that. You have to trust your eyes being able to match printed 
squares of gray against a gray-card, and that's just not accurate 
enough to get near anywhere near perfect results.

The program works in the background and affects all your prints while 
it's active, so I guess it's also useful if you want to tone all your 
BW prints the same way without messing around in photoshop.

Personally I got much better results using canned profiles and minor 
curve-adjustments in photoshop than the gray-balancer.
