Digital BW, The Print

Mark;

The fact that this advice comes with the ICC means it is intended for 
color printing: you set the driver to 'no color adjustment and then 
select the profilr they gave you in the Photoshop 'print with preview' 
window. So PS controls the color rendition that way, not the driver.

If you are printing B&W ignore all that and follow the directions for 
your particular printing method. As for lifespan, if you're putting UT 
or UC inks on it, it should be good for upwards of 50 Wilhelm years 
unless like EEM it starts to yellow long before the inks start to fade.

Regards,

Steve Karafyllakis
