Digital BW, The Print

Robert,

I guess I'm pretty close to the densities you are getting with the 
Kamar coated ISP, using Antonis's profile.  I'm also quite pleased with 
the results and delighted to have IJC.  The PC users have StudioPrint 
10 which sounds similar to IJC and also has the advantage of automated 
density acquisition (at least from the Eye-One spectrophotometer) for 
profile construction.  Do you know if Bowhaus has any plans for 
incorporating this feature in IJC?  Here is a link to a review of 
StudioPrint 10:
