Digital BW, The Print

Thanks a lot for the information Clayton and Steve, it was very helpful in
clearing up some, but not all, the questions :)  (of course I have a slew
more)

So I'm deciding on the 2400, and the calibrated monitor approach.  If I
understand correctly, I should then look at Harrington's QTR Create ICC.
Steve, you say there are two components, inbound, and outbound.  Are these
equivalent to a monitor profile and printer profile?

So I'll use my profile from my DisplayOne as a system colour profile, and in
Photoshop I can use the QTR soft-proof (inbound) profile to proof my B&W
prints...correct?

Steve, thanks a lot for offering to share your 4800 profiles.  How hard will
it be for me to get 2400 profiles?  Are downloads available anywhere over
the net (I've just joined the QTR group).

Does QTR support colour printing profiles (and are users making profiles for
K3 inks printed in colour onto various types of paper)?  I will be using one
2400 for both colour and B&W.

Is there a printing workflow detailed on the web using QTR on a 2400
(starting from a converted & corrected digital capture)?

Clayton:  Am I correct in thinking that you believe (and others too), that
Eboni inks are superior to the K3 inks? (not only d-max, but other qualities
as well).  (If I use BO with Eboni, vs. your 2400 K3 workflow, I'll get
better blacks, less shifting, etc with the Eboni...right?)

I cannot use a BO printing method on the 2400 unless I use a RIP...correct?

Finally, will using a more expensive RIP (like Colorbyte or ImagePrint)
remove any headaches, ease any of the work? (having pre-made profiles for a
number of papers seems to be of great value).

Thanks again, have a good weekend
