Well I've explained how to do that. QTR Create ICC is an innovative way of
dealing with managing the problem you face - a problem dealt with some time
ago by the B&W community. Works like a charm. QTR Create ICC is the
missing link in the Epson Adv B&W (or other B&W RIP workflow eg QTR, Bowhaus
etc) workflow. Have fun. As I said before, luminance management in an ICC
profile wrapper. Very user friendly with a few added benefits thrown in.
Certainly a lot easier than computing a transfer curve from scratch. PS can
generate an ICC profile from a transfer curve - but you've got to get the
transfer curve right first.
