CM conversions was Re: [Digital BW] Quadtone RIP Faded print

Hi Richard, yes certainly that takes care of most of the dilemma,
assuming Adobe's black point compensation is used for K points that
don't match, and assuming there are few colors (if any) in the image
that are out of gamut.
I have been disapointed in relcol conversions with gretag (Eye-one)
conversions though. ProfilerPro, particularly the newest versions,
seem to be better.
