Digital BW, The Print

This is all from a distant memory, however: - The Create ICC function merely
creates a profile from a set of readings that you give to it.  The readings
are made from a grey step tablet that you print through your system so the
ICC created will reflect your set-up.  What it won't do, unless I remember
incorrectly, is allow you to soft proof any toning that is present in your
inks, ie it is a greyscale only so whilst it will help your client to adjust
his file so that it prints as he expects on your printer, it will not
represent on screen what the finished print will look like.  I'm sorry but
its a long time since I used this function so my memory may be a little
hazy!  Still I hope this is of some help.  Why not ask on the QTR Group or
check with Roy Harrington directly - I'm sure you will get some better
informed answers.

But how would that reflect what my setup is, and where would you use
it in Photoshop?
