Digital BW, The Print

Thanks for the reply Tyler,

I will try to make the profile from the converted file first, as it 
might be difficult for the eye one to read the patches on the 
ordinary target. I will try that one next, though, if the first 
method doesn't give me the desired results. I will just give it a 
try with the Profilemaker Pro software as I don't have Eye One 
Match. It should work the same, at least I hope so.

Thanks also for the info on the rendering intents. I do not change 
that at the RIP end.

Best regards,

Ellie
