Re: [Digital BW] Calibrating an Epson 1400

2010-10-20 by Paul

The settings I'd start with are on page 4 of http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Eboni-6.pdf

I recommend starting with the Epson driver,  then ICCs, and finally going to the QTR rip only if needed and for special papers like the uncoated watercolor papers.
