That's a good question about ICC profile version compatibility - I
never thought of that.

I guess the metamerism would explain the blue/green cast when viewed
in a room predominantly illuminated by daylight.  Seems I should
invest in a Solux lamp.

However, this still leaves the problem of ABW prints being much darker
than what I see onscreen.  Hmmm...
