Digital BW, The Print

Imageprint 6.1 or 7.0 with PTAPP does allow softproofing in Photoshop. It is an extra $200. but well worth it to me.

The disadvantages I find with using colour management are not knowing 
recisely when your monitor is actually compressing dark shadow 
alues it itself cant reproduce,  and most of us cant make are own 
rey profiles or black-only profiles so we rely on RIP software like 
mage print which cant be soft proofed in Photoshop.

Thank you for your book recommendations. 
I am familiar with Color Management (Fraser, Murphy Bunting) and this 
ook is of course crucial for colour management, and therefore a 
aluable reference for printing B&W inside the colour management 
ystem. Techniques of which Bruce Fraser actually outlines in Real 
orld Photoshop in far greater detail. These include targeting 
echniques that use soft proofing to see how the profile and the 
onversion settings are going to compress the data along the curve.

mage print which cant be soft proofed in Photoshop. I am looking for 
eference material on Same as Source or  Black-only work flows 
utside of colour management. Or even direct data to density 
echniques that correlate printer control signals with measured 
ensities.  Techniques which allow absolutely precise control of tone 
ontrast such that a lightness separation appears on the screen (or 
an be interpreted though numbers) exactly as it will print out.
