Re: Am I crazy?

Cool, maybe, leaning towards blue, but I've never noticed 
a "greenish" cast.

I always convert my images to 16-bit grayscale and save the images as 
Grayscale Gamma 2.2.

So, I'm sending a 16-bit grayscale image with GG 2.2 profile to the 
printer.

I'm getting pretty much on print what my profiled monitor is showing.
