Digital BW, The Print

Bernd,

the so-called "profiles" in IJC have nothing to do with ICC profiles. They are 
really just a saved group of data that tells the printing portion of the software 
how to control the printer. In that sense, they are a "proprietary" format, and 
only work with IJC and Printmaker.

The big difference, of course, between IJC and either the Cone profiles or  
RGB workflows is that the dreaded Epson "black box" is entirely eliminated, as 
is the need to feed RGB files instead of grayscale. Also, IJC supports 16 bit 
files which I don't believe the Epson driver  does (but the piezo plug in did). 
Internal calculations are also high bit, making for very precise gradations.
