There was a lot of discussion about grayscale profiles a while ago. I've worked out a bunch of the details and have adapted the linearizing code to create ICC files. It is now part of the QTR package version 2.3 which has been just uploaded, available for both Mac and PC. QTR-Create-ICC is the newest feature. It creates grayscale ICC printing profiles. Although packaged as a QTR tool it is a general purpose program that can accurately profile any B&W printing workflow. The current version only supports the Eye-One/MeasureTool data format. It uses the same target files and reference files that the QTR linearizing function has always used. The profiles created do full Perceptual Intent mapping of the grayscale and allow Ink Black and Paper White simulation in SoftProofing. See Eye-One folder in either Mac or PC versions for information. See the main download page and follow the link at the top to the beta versions -- that's QTR version 2.3 Roy
