As i mentioned in a previous post, (Epson R220 compared to Epson R260) i went ahead and picked up an R340, and got the R220 inks from MIS (the UT-R2 to be specific). Well, my printer, matte paper and MIS inkset arrived yesterday evening and i plan to run my first set of tests tonight using CS2. I know that a generous Paul Roark has made several free .icc profiles for use within Photoshop for the inkset and paper i purchased. i plan to start there. I have also read up a bit on Quad Tone Rip, in the user guide written by Tom Moore, and know that i would need to calibrate, and then linearize before i make any meaningful prints. eventually though i will want to move up to a different paper, that likely will not have a free profile built. So, instead of going through the time, ink and paper to calibrate and linearize myself in QTR, I would be more than happy to pay the going rate $25-50 for a custom built .icc profile. However, the people i have emailed that do custom profiles only do them for color inksets and targets. So my question (finally) is this...Does anyone on this board know of someone who makes b+w .icc profiles. Or for that matter, does anyone on this board want to make a few bucks and do a couple for me when i make a decision on the papers i would like to use? Thanks in advance for any info. After i make a few prints and get through initial learning curve i will post my opinions on how it all worked out on this thread. As a point of reference, this is the equipment and workflow that i use. Lenses: Autofocus, Prime Capture: 11.1mp DSLR Raw files Adobe Camera RAW: 16bit, 300dpi, PSD files Photoshop: Crop, Straighten, Levels, Channel-Monochrome Convert to b+w, Curves, Any other creative effects i may want to make, Highpass Sharpen, Image-Size-Resample if required for output size. Thanks again. Cory
