Digital BW, The Print

Hi Martin.... along with EZWarm in the Yellow spot, I've tried the
Bowhaus RIP for use with Innova F-Type glossy.  For Silver Rag, I use
the ABW method.  I prefer the simplicity of the ABW method but I
couldn't get the print quite where I wanted it on Innova using ABW.  I
based my ABW profile on Charles James' neutral IJC profile for Silver
Rag on a 2400.  (By the way, IJC for the 2400 only uses 7 inks and
ignores the yellow slot.)  The resulting profile is posted on the
Bowhaus ftp site.
