Digital BW, The Print

You know Tyler, this is exactly what a lot of us out here are more than curious about. The 
talk in the past was that you couldn't do tone chanel linerizaton as well with Studio Print, 
right? That's why you bought a PC in ther first place to use Imageprint with quads? 

It seems that with ultrachromes the first thing you want to do is shut off the yellow 
channel, which is the pigment most likely to fade and cause metamerism, right? Then what 
happens?, you desaturate the other color channels and balance them out?, or cut them off 
altogether and print out ot two black channels?

I just suggested the QTR rip for a friend with a 2200 and he was very happy with the 
neutral monochromes that he is now getting to use in his ad book. I want to see those  
this week. 

It seems to me a decent rip along with a printer specific profile curve might be the answer 
for using ultrachrome for serious work. I guess that is what Nash Editions is doing
