Digital BW, The Print

Without fully thinking this through, I think the "standardised view" you
should work to is a well-profiled monitor with a defined rendering intent
for mapping image file values to display.  The bit that is open-ended in
your current workflow at the moment, I believe, is that you send (curve
adjusted) raw image values to the printer and so must define for the other
uses the workspace they use.  If I start with a different workspace from you
yet we work the same image up in identically the same way, we will each see
the same thing on our monitors - colour management will handle the different
image file values and our displays (gamut differences aside).  But each will
print very differently.  If, on the other hand, we each colour manage the
print step we should (using the same equipment) get the "same" printed
image.  The large colour market doesn't care as much about defining the
workspace because there is management of the workspace to printspace step
(again, out of gamut colours to one side for the moment).
