Digital BW, The Print

Hi Paul,
All sorted now. My neutral greys with balanced RGB values eg. 
128,128,128 are now grey and not sepia. The monitor is calibrated.

A BIG THANKYOU to Tony at http://www.imageplace.co.uk/ who emailed me 
and actually solved the problem by remotely taking over my PC. It 
turned out that an errant monitor profile had to be removed from the 
Windows folder containing ICC profiles since it was in conflict with 
the profiles Photoshop was trying to use.
Tony runs a business offering monitor, printer and projector 
profiling at very reasonable rates. He also gives tuition and offers 
some materials at discount prices. I can't recommend him enough. 
Initial consultation is free and he wouldn't charge me to sort out my 
problem.
Pete.
