Digital BW, The Print

Hi Roy,

Thanks for your reply. Sorry, I didn't make my question clearer. I'll 
try again. First, a bit of background info.

Your QTR is a wonderful product to use with the 9600 and UC inks. I 
tried it, and also made the soft-proof profiles.

Our present workflow, and custom profiles, are based on the epson 
driver. Since GIMP and epson don't play well, I had to remove QTR to 
use the epson driver again.

Finally my question ;-)

Is there a way to build a custom grayscale printer profile using the 
epson driver?
Or, would it be better to switch all printing, Color and B&W, to QTR?

Thanks again, John
