PrintFix Pro and B&W Printing Follow Up

PrintFix Pro and B&W Printing Follow Up

2007-01-24 by tech4x5

Thanks to Keith for the response.  

David, thanks for the detailed reply.  I'm sold! I am ready to try 
it.  I have a couple of follow up questions.

1. If I have a file of a B&W image and it is in grayscale, how do I 
use it with the new profile I just made?  Do I need to convert it to 
RGB first?
2. Now that I have made a profile with the 225 target patch plus the 
Extended Gray patches,I have 2 profiles.  The original one which 
works fine with color.  And a second which combines the original and 
the extended gray.  How do you suggest I use these?  Do I use the 
original for color and the combined one for B&W?
