Digital BW, The Print

ah, got it. Try this, convert to your profile, then convert again to
sRGB, assuming they are for web display, or maybe dropped into a pdf,
but use Absolute Colormetric for the rendering intent. That will
accurately put the paper white point and ink black points into the
sRGB space without endpoint correction. Is that more useful?
Perhaps ARGB depending on where and how it will be used...
