Digital BW, The Print

"I had my 4800 color profile made
for me by Ethan Hanson at Dry Creek. In addition to the beautiful color
profile he created (including a nice gamut chart of your paper/printer)
for Ilford Sm Pearl, he gave me a group of B&W profiles . . . "

Just curious, when he did this for you? I sent Dry Creek money to pay for a 
profile seven or eight months ago and after they cashed my check I heard 
nothing more from them. No profile, no voice mail accessability, no response 
to pages, no response to emails, no response to letters. I thought they were 
a criminal scam and if the money had been enough to be worth the trouble I 
would have tried to have criminal charges brought against them. I've since 
read of others having the same experience so how or when did you get lucky 
enough to have them actually do the work you paid for?

custom curves."
Just to add a note to Paul's point, I had my 4800 color profile made
for me by Ethan Hanson at Dry Creek. In addition to the beautiful color
profile he created (including a nice gamut chart of your paper/printer)
for Ilford Sm Pearl, he gave me a group of B&W profiles to try drawn
from the same data set. These profiles covered Neutral, Platinum,
Selenium, Cool tone, Sepia and Brown tone. All I can say is WOW! Dead
on WYSIWYG and the various tones are STUNNING! The Platinum tone is
especially delicate and beautiful. I know some will always want to
fiddle with in between values in ABW, but for me this is printing
Nirvana.
