Digital BW, The Print

Dear juray,
I have read msg #67818 and your post and, frakly speaking, I am confused by this approach. Using an ICC profile AND ABW means that you are color managing twice, spreading color management between PS (with the ICC profile) and your printer driver (with ABW mode). I am not sure the approch is correct (I think it is as long as you scan a target printed in ABW mode) but certainly it ties you to a specific printer (your 4800). many people with large printers (and expensive inks) do ther print test using smaller and cheap ink printers (i.e. the R220) befor going to the final print.
A more consistent approach would be:
1) Print your target with no color managemnet in PS nor in your printer
2) scan
3) creahe the ICC file
4) print your work in PS with color management assigned to PS, using your ICC for the printer and no ICC management in you printer driver

Regards
  Daniela

 4800 using ABW. Many thanks from my side to all contributors - there
 is a huge wealth of data in there!! I have learned from several posts
 that you could (and should) use QTR Create ICC in the ABW workflow.

 "...QTR Create ICC is a much more sensible approach:  measure and
 profile the stimulus-response behaviour of the printer IN ABW MODE and
 have PS use that profile to adjust image file data prior to it being
 sent to the printer. .."
 
 So just to make sure I get this idea correctly: I prepare an ICC Curve
 using QTR following the instructions and printing through the ABW
 driver. This would be a QTR Profile for a particular paper and ink
 combination and also particular settings in ABW. Then I take an image
 file (in my default workspace G = 2,2) convert this file in PS to the
 QTR Profile just prepared and send this file to ABW using 'same es
 source' in 'Print with Preview'. 
 
 Would someone please check my reasoning and let me know if there are
 any inconsistencies?
 
 Thank you in advance for your advice
