Digital BW, The Print

I went through the process and ended up with an "invalid profile" when
I tried to send a .tiff image to my 1160.

The steps in the Lab template that I created the .icc file from with
Roy's Create ICC.exe had distinct steps (at least 3 Lab numbers
between them) and no reversals after linearizing the ScanMaker4
according to his procedure.

Any suggestions?

That sounds like the Windows right-click installer.   Windows doesn't seem to
recognize the grayscale ICC profile.  So you'll have to manually place it in the
correct system folder.

At the bottom of the htm file below, you'll find how to put the ICC in the
correct folder:

Thanks, Paul and Roy, but it didn't work.

Originally I created the profile, opened Windows Explorer and dragged it 
to the C:\WINDOWS\system32\spool\drivers\color folder. Now I have 
followed Paul's directions exactly, ended up with the same profile in 
the same folder and still get the invalid profile message when I try to 
print either an RGB or a grayscale TIFF file from Photoshop. The file is 
named "EPS1160_Matte_Kayenta_UTFSN_G22.icc" in the folder with "QTR" 
appended in the Photoshop profile list.

Thanks for all your help and all your efforts on behalf of B&W printing,

Frank
