Digital BW, The Print

Yes, that's what I was expecting. 

However, after my initial results I reconsidered. I think that, when
using ABW, the epson driver will still apply whatever color (or
greyscale) correction is appropiate for the selected paper. If this is
the case, selecting an ICC will cause two corrections to be applied on
top of each other. Since the ICC was not designed to be used in this
way, this would not work well in general.  

So to linearize the output one must either (1) play with the ABW
settings, (2) create a PS adjustment curve, or (3) create a custom
profile based on the output obtained using the ABW. 

Right?

Thanks!
