Digital BW, The Print

Do you mean simulate black ink instead of "ink color" in the  
softproof dialog (CS2) ?  Also, I agree that checking simulate paper  
color and/or black ink when softproofing  is not at all realistic  
(even when looking away to avoid brain tricks).  Just doesn't cut it  
for me.  Like putting a fog layer over the image.  I get excellent  
screen/print matches with neither of these options checked, using a  
calibrated Apple LCD monitor.
