Bernd,

that's great news! thanks for posting your results.  I expect that a profil=
e for any 
Piezotone set will work for any other PT flavor  as long as the black ink i=
s in 
the same family. My 7000 profile uses the FS black (pre-Eboni). That was 
before Museum Black became available and was a quick fix for the Original 
Black of the Piezotones that faded before my eyes.  

As for dots, one of the benefits of  writing your own profiles, is that you=
 can 
decide what to do with those extra second Cyan and Magenta inks. Unlike 
other software, you know exactly if and when they are being used and when 
they "come in" on the scale. By staggering the C/LC and the M/LM I was able=
 
to reduce the "device dots" of the 7000 further, which by today's standards=
 
look like golfballs.  

That profile, by the way, was for Photo Rag if I remember well, which behav=
es 
differently than EAM, but, hey, for purposes of demonstration, it's good 
enough! When I get a minute I'll cover some more papers. Or... maybe you 
will, if you decide to buy IJC!

Thanks again for the good words.

Antonis
