Re: [Digital BW] 'Color management' in PS or Advanced B/W driver[Mac, R2400]

Steve,

Heavyweight matte paper, Matte Black ink on a 2400. I cannot quantitatively measure the 
results, but I am comparing the density on my monitor with the print just using my eyes. 
With CM on with Advanced B/W driver, the print corresponds to my monitor. When I turn 
CM off in PS, I loose 1/4 of the strips which all become dense back.

And, the Shadow Tonality control in the Advanced B/W driver makes very little change 
from -25 to +25 (with or without CM in PS)

Strange, but the results using the wrong way (CM ON in PS) correspond great with my 
monitor.
