Re: Brian and David was Re: [Digital BW] Profi ling with Dedicated B&W Inks

Jon. Do you have a MeasureTool TXT file for that 256 target? I am  
working on a BW workflow that will let me match any hue value from any  
BW printing process (Silver or Digital) with either a K3 ink setup or  
K5 with LC LM Y, using custom RGB input profiles. I have some K3  
matches done already for the 11880 . . .

This target would be useful for debugging . . .

all the best,
Walker
