Digital BW, The Print

Hello all,

Will be reading along from time to time & undoubtedly will have a 
dozen or so questions before long.

The boring but perhaps pertinent resources I have on hand are Epson 
3000 now loaded with Lysonic E inks, Agfa DuoScan & Triniton 
P991monitor.

Current driving interest is to achieve WYSIWYG on scree/print.  
Have been looking at the information at both Inkjetart  
http://www.tssphoto.com/sp/dg/ & Cone Editions/Inkjetmall 
http://www.coneeditions.com/ specifically colormanagement 
http://www.inkjetmall.com/store/color-management.html 
and considering getting the Colorvision suite.  

A little confused however if I need to get ICC profiles to compliment 
the Colorvision Suite or if the Suite takes care of it?  I'm under 
the impression that they compliment one another.

Considering a second printer to dedicate to B&W if I can figure out 
how to stack them up on a shelf and decide on a printer.

Nice to meet you.

I use OptiCal with a DTP92 and it's great for calibrating the monitor. It comes 
also with PreCal. But people seem to like the Spyder as well for hardware.

If you are printing with color inks, you'll probably want to use ColorSync and 
ICC profiles. If you are interested in quads/hexes with MIS, you won't need 
ColorSync, you'll need to start working with Paul Roark's curves. If you use 
Piezo, it's its own proprietary system; it's all there in the box.
