Digital BW, The Print

This Lab gray space sounds interesting. Where can I find a copy?

Hi Tyler.   As far as I can tell softproofing with the LAB gray profile does
exactly the same thing as just assigning your file to the Lab gray space.

I've also found that the softproofs I made for one specific inkset (UT2 on
1270)
work surprisingly well for many other situations.   I think B&W turns out to
be
a lot easier to work with a fairly generic softproof.

I've been experimenting with a shortened Lab profile to reflect a typical
dmin
and dmax, but there's a awful lot of combinations of Black Pt Comp, Ink
Black,
Paper White and Intents.
