Digital BW, The Print

Steve,

Whatever that article says, I don't believe there is any need to turn off 
color management before sending an image to the R2400 using AB&W mode. If 
you select 'Let Printer determine........' in CS2, AFAIK it does just that - 
the printer driver determines what it is going to do. If it needs to do a 
profile conversion it will; if it doesn't, it won't. Sending the profile 
can't do any harm if the driver doesn't want to do a conversion.

As I use Epson paper and inks with my R2400, I use that same setting in CS2 
for both color and B&W prints, because the Epson profiles are very good, and 
I can't see that any custom profiles I might make would be any better (for 
those papers and inks).

The only reason I can see for using the 'Turn off Color management' setting 
in CS2 would be if I was printing a profile target.

Apparently not.  My understanding is it doesn't use the ICC profile.  See
here for example:
