Digital BW, The Print

Interesting.  I am looking at the profiles installed by the Mac driver on
the UK site.  In actual fact it doesn't install the profiles in a
conventional fashion, ie place them in /Library/Colorsync/Profiles.  The
only way to view them is to go to /Library/Printers/Epson/SPro4800.plugin
and Show Package Contents - they are then under Resources. Are you on a Mac
or PC?  If Mac is yours like this? Epson works in mysterious ways I
guess...But then the bkpt tag can't be the trigger because none of my i1
profiles have the bkpt tag.
