Digital BW, The Print

I'm assuming this is different from the current Printfix Pro that's 
available now.  However, my wish is that I don't have to buy more hardware, 
software to make it possible to print toned images that I have done in PS 
and print them directly with little or no metamerism.   QTR allows me to 
print with basically no metamerism but I'm limited to working in an ICC 
profile of Roy's creation in PS, then converting to a matte or gloss profile 
to be used by QTR--and I can tone by blending, adjusting ink density, etc. 
One can also create their own profiles/curves with more hardware/software.

Not having used the ABW driver on the 2400, I understand that one selects a 
grayscale image, then can 'tone' within the ABW dirver.  Still--its using 
their 'tones'---not able to do split toning (I don't think), etc.  I would 
like to be able to work directly--no additional purchases, no 3rd party 
driver, etc.  I suspect I'll have to wait a good while LOL.

Thanks--I'll look for this product--I'm assuming that this is the one you 
mentioned would be introduced at PHotokina next week.

Actually that will be exactly possible with the Canon iPF5000, Epson 2400,
and other K3 printers (no answer yet on the new HPs). Thats one workflow 
that
PrintFIX PRO 2.0 offers. It also allows printing of neutral or toned prints 
from
grayscale files, complete with screen preview of the results.
