Digital BW, The Print

I don't believe that you can get anything out the measuring information. Looks like it is all 
done behind the scene.
Although they aren't saying this directly I would guess that from the low patch count (600 
and something?) of the the printer target, you only will be able to have a profile for the 
printer that you can use in perceptually. Nothing else. 
Even with the add on profiling software it looks like you will only be able to have a 
perceptual profile. 
Nothing is in the details about if the standard profiling software will allow for different 
viewing conditions AFAIK? Add on software allows for two but it looks like you may be able 
to add more from the description as I read it. 
Most of the details still leave me with more questions at this point in time but the profiling 
software looks like a limited version of Eye-One Design to me.
One thing that I found false is that they say, "Integrate one of a range of commercially 
available photo RIPs, such as the ImagePrint v.6 RIP from ColorByte. This RIP gives you 
advanced options, including advanced multiple-image placement, black-and-white split-
toning, and PostScript®& PDF printing." ColorByte striped out the PostScript and PDF file 
printing feature in December of last year saying that (to paraphrase) their users didn't 
need the capability.
So... What is real? Guess we have to stay tuned for further developments as they say.
