Digital BW, The Print

Although I have posted to the Profile Prism group I wonder If I might have  
more luck asking here....

Has anyone successfully used Profile Prism to get a useable profile for  
black and white output?
I won't clog this forum with crossposting, my post to the other group is  
here:

Advice from someone who has been happy with their b/w PP profiles, or from  
someone who has exhausted all the permutations without success, would be  
most welcome...

The QTR program contains a program called QTR Create ICC.  This is 
designed for and produces excellent grayscale profiles.  At $50 it's 
a bargain and you will make back the cost in paper and ink savings in 
short time.  You do need and Eye One Photo (and I think some other 
instruments are or will shortly be supported).

Hi Andy; 

I have PP and have spent a fair amount of time tying ti get good 
profiles out of it, but it isn't any better (or worse) than any 
other scanner based profiling system. Which is to say, you can get 
ok profiles fairly easily, but it's very hard to get really good 
ones. IMO If your color printing needs are fairly stable and you 
don't need a lot of profiles, you'd probably do better to use a 
profiling service and have a few professional ones made.

Best of luck,

Steve Karafyllakis
