Digital BW, The Print

Tyler,

I'm considering Studio Print.  Question for you.  

My understanding is that SP is used for setting ink limits, partitioning, and linearization, but 
an icc profile is still needed for printing.  Is that true?  If yes, do I need their colorGPS 
profiling software too?  90% of my work is B&W so I am most curious about that, but what 
about for color too.  I already have an i1.  I'm currently running K3.

I don't see on the Ergosoft website that version 12 is released yet, but I heard that it is out.  I 
assume that I'll need v12 in order to support the 7800.  

Thanks.

Josh
