Digital BW, The Print

ABW is only non-ICC in that Epson does not supply any grayscale ICC profiles
and none of the "biggies" in color management support grayscale profiling.

However the QTR-Create-ICC tool does all of that -- creates grayscale ICC
profile for use in softproofing and ICC printing to match the embedded profile
and the printer device.   This raises the ABW workflow to a complete ICC workflow.
