Digital BW, The Print

Well I can tell you that my C++ and Cocoa books are buried in the closet and
likely to stay there!  Conceptually, writing the ICC profile file is
relatively easy.  Learning how to do the programming is way beyond me
though.  It was a distraction that lasted about a fortnight before I said
eff this...  I'll wait for you to do your thing - let me know if I can help
in any way.  I had some lengthy discussions with Phil Green at the
Colour Imaging Group, London College of Communication.  He was very helpful.
But is was also clear how leading-edge this stuff is.  The colour community
just aren't there on this.  Neither is Epson from what I can see - even with
their Advanced B&W mode.
