Hi

When I did the test prints for the article, I opened the supplied tiff as is (ie not colour 
managed in any way and no profiles assumed or assigned),  and printed it with whatever 
settings I was using in the driver.  For the K80 it was 'normal greyscale' and the 1290 it was 
'black only' 1440. The whole point is that the driver settings you use for actual printing (with 
the new profile) are the same that you used to create it.

However... If you are using a 2200 with EEM, then why are you not printing via QTR itself? - 
there are curves available for just this combination, and it's a perfect use for QTR. Printing via 
the Epson driver and a luminance icc profile is probably not likely to give as good B/W as QTR

bye for now
