Re: [Digital BW] O.T...how to profile color w/Epson scanner and ProfilerPlus to

Yes sir, you're absolutely right, and after several days (and hours) 
the colors will shift, then just go back and tweak the profile 
accordingly, and wait. The colors shifted on the green side overnight 
in my tests, but remember green vs red, and adjust 
accordingly...tricky is an understatement. I don't have a 
densitometer, and don't want one, I look for the overall final 
result, record everything along the way, and how the print looks 
after a week, then after a month. Keeping meticulous records is the 
key...for each test
