Digital BW, The Print

> I have a flatbed (Epson 750) to hand and I will shortly sport US$50 
and download myself the QTR RIP. Then I will settle down with a 
moderate measure of scotch and a wet towel to work my way round 
mastering the ICC creation process.


I've simplified my recommendations for making ICCs with a flatbed 
scanner.  

See http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Making_B-W_ICCs-GrayCard.pdf 
for my latest thoughts on that subject.

Also note the progression of workflow options for Eboni-6 at 
http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Eboni-6.pdf pages 3-5.

There I start with no ICC (just the Epson driver), then go to a 
simple ICC with no curves, and finally to an ICC that includes an 
embedded curve.  It's possible that the Epson driver with no ICC and 
possibly a slight slider adjustment will make a print that is very 
good.  At any rate, start simple.
