Mike,

If I understand correctly, then I print a 21-step wedge via ABW mode with the ICC profile 
set to "same as source", and then read the density values off the printed step wedge and 
use these to create a linearised ICC profile with CreateIcc. I then print in ABW with the 
profile set to the one that I generated using CreateIcc. Correct?

This does seem like a nice way to go. However, I'd like the option to print split tones (e.g., 
cold shadows, warm highlights) and it seems that ABW doesn't allow this, just an overall 
change in the image colour thoughout the whole tonal range. 

Thanks again

Guy
