Digital BW, The Print

I am not familiar with the rgb versions of these profiles - just the
greyscale printer profiles.  I also do not use PWP but if you are able to
work in greyscale then you apply the greyscale ICC profiles to your prepared
greyscale file just prior to printing (or on the fly at printing).
