Digital BW, The Print

OK folks, that's enough for me. I just belatedly realized asking the question requires 
inundating the list with the various replies. Duh!!
Mark, no connection to IJM at all, they know nothing about this. I have no idea if the way 
Jon is working out his profiles and setups will even look anything like what I'm doing. I'm 
certainly not trying to raise interest in theproduct for them, just want opinions for the 
reasons I stated. In fact, they might not even like that I'm doing this...
Mike, I don't use QTR, and would not be making ink setups and profiles for it. I'm not sure 
I could even tell someone else how to go about what I did here. Lots of trial and error with 
StudioPrint and spot channels.
These will be double pass prints by the way...
Enough for now. I'll post in a week or so with a link to order them.

Thanks all, really apreciate it.
Tyler
