Hi Tyler, many thanks for your answer. This is exactly the method I created the output profile for soft-proffing in CS5. You say "assign" the output profile (and convert to sRGB), Steve recommends "convert" to the output profile (and convert to sRGB). The results are different. What is correct? I think "assign" should be correct because I printed the step wedge the same way I print normal images (using the ImagePrint b&w profile and all the toning settings) because I am just interested in a profile for soft-proofing. Regards, Peter Baumbach PS: your images are gorgeous!

many of us doing custom B&W hue work, whether monochrome inksets, or what you are doing, use this trick a lot-
Get Quadtone RIP, $50 shareware. Print one of his step wedges with your system, toned however you like. Make a "create icc" profile.. assign it to your image file, then convert to sRGB for your web work.. been working for for years! All the B&W work made with Cone inksets on my website are represented that way- http://tylerboley.com/
create icc is a great tool for many things.. whterh you use QTR for printing or not.
