Digital BW, The Print

Seth,

don't know about the 308, but any of the DTP autoscans usually assume 
some software support that generates the targets. A simpler instrument would 
be more useful for bw where you really only need to read a few patches (26 in 
the case of IJC) as opposed to color where you can be reading hundreds.

The dilemma for many people who do both color and bw is whether to buy a 
densitometer for a few hunder $ from eBay and then have to buy a fancy strip 
reading spectrophotometer for heavy duty color profiling. It takes jumping 
through a few hoops to get the strip readers to read a simple 26-step 
grayscale a step at a time.
