1. For color prints I find that the IP profiles are slightly more 
accurate than the Atkinson ones, particularly in having better shadow 
detail. On the other hand some people have stated that the Atkinson 
profiles have more saturation, but if that is the case, it is easily 
fixable with a printer targeting adjustment in Photoshop, which is 
something one should in any case use. [Also, IP version 5.5 with "Wide 
Gamut Technology" may improve the blacks and saturation.]

2. For B&W prints the IP grayscale profiles print spot-on neutral 
prints, with the ability subtly to "tone" the prints with IP's 
TintPicker facility.
