Digital BW, The Print

I suspect that this how it works -- that they are linked by the PS code.
If anyone finds a counter-example I like to see it.  I don't think any of this
is documented so examples tend to be the best info.

I think there may be CM systems that don't handle BPC the way PS does.
This may be why Epson provides profiles with it builtin.
