We switched to this a little over 2 years ago for our Macs. I feel it gives
a much more accurate soft proof. (previously using 1.8 D50)  It also cleared
up the highlights which look a muddy yellow at D50 1.8 even if they are 255
white.
OptiCal with a DTP 92 gets us there every time.
We use Ektaspace as a color working space, and 2.2 gamma for greyscale
images.


This setup also works great with our Cone Piezo BW pro24. Dead on match
right out of the box.
