Digital BW, The Print

Sorry, I wrote the original message. "2. Make the test print" is the topic; the lines below, indented with hyphens, are the steps required to make the test print.

I guess I should have called it "the print to be measured" or something like that.

Anyway, in looking back on the topic of creating B&W profiles w/QTR for use with Epsons ABW, I came back to this post and was rereading step #2(above). Maybe it's just me, but I'm having a little trouble following this. It looks like I need to make a print(of the step wedge), then select NCM, then specify ABW?
