Digital BW, The Print

Thanks for the responses, Carl and Paul.

When I switched from the PiezoBW ICC system to IJC/OPM with Piezo 
inks, the hue-based soft-proofing in Photoshop is the only thing I 
that I really missed. Since the hue of the ink/paper combination 
plays such an important part in the mood of the final image, I found 
that having the ability to edit my image with the hue already in 
place made a big difference in how I interpreted the "work in 
process" image. And with a library of soft-proof profiles, it 
allowed me to visualize what the image might look like on papers I 
had never even considered before, which I found very useful in my 
creative process.

I'll take a look at the materials you two suggested.

Thanks,
Peter.
