Digital BW, The Print

Thanks for replying Linda
I will most likely be using those MIS K4 inks in the future to save 
money.

I'm still a bit fuzzy on profiles. Here are paper profiles for the 
paper I will be using (Red River Aurora Art): 
http://www.redrivercatalog.com/profiles/r2400profiles.htm
Wouldn't a paper profile like this be good enough for use with either 
Epson or MIS inks? If not, then how does one use both a paper and ink 
profile?

I'm really a "set it and forget it" type person (not so technical), 
so these profiles and monitor calibration type stuff just tends to 
confuse and bog me down. I just want to get acceptable results 
without a lot of hassle. I'll be printing maybe 50% B&W, 50% color.

I have an Eye One display monitor calibration device. When I've used 
it in the past I've simply calibrated using the "Easy" method. 
Honestly, I can't tell that it even helps.

What do you think?

Regards,

Kevin
