Re but how can we get custom profiles?

[CDTobie@aol.com]

Short answer without quotes intersperced:

Yes, Real World Photoshop has a lot on CMYK and prepress, sorry, it's still 
the best book on the color management stuff, at the moment anyways.
Yes it would be nice if stock profiles worked well under all circumstances, 
but they don't. 
Yes MatchBox is probably the best choice for you for a thousand dollar color 
management solution, and it shoud indeed match your scanner to your monitor 
to your printer, and let you adjsut the profiles if htey don't.
 And(finally) yes, there is some confusion on when to use black point 
compensation, and not all situaiions are the same. Try it both ways and see 
what works for you.
