Digital BW, The Print

John you are right, though it would be worth Jim going to 
http://www.normankoren.com/makingfineprints1A.html and checking that his 
monitor is properly set. And it's free.

I've found the 2400 profiles to be extremely good. Actually better than 
either the custom profiles I made myself or those from a friend with 
considerably more expensive equipment.

Regards,

Peter
