Digital BW, The Print

Peter,

I use an Eye One and ProfileMaker 5 for all of the things you 
mention.  Works fine.  PM5 has more options than EyeOne Photo, but 
you should be able to do all you want using it.  In his softproofing 
writeup, Roy has a workaround so you can use custom targets with Eye 
One Match software.
