Moving to quadtones/MIS FS

2002-02-27 by bensongary

All,

Well, I've spent the past couple months scanning 35mm, medium and 
large format B&W negatives (Canoscan FS2710 and a new Epson 2450), 
learning some new Photoshop techniques and experimenting with my 
Epson 980 printer.  While I've been generally happy with the results 
(using Epson inks and Epson heavy weight matte paper), I think I'm 
ready to move on to quadtones.  I'm getting tired of that metamarism 
(spelling?) and odd color cast to these "B&W" prints in daylight.

Reading the posts to the List over the past couple months, I'm 
constantly aware of how much I have yet to learn.  This is what I'm 
thinking about doing....MIS Full Spectrum inks and trying to adapt 
the John Wolf workflow and curves described on the MIS website to my 
Epson 980 printer.  Can anyone tell me whether and how to adapt those 
curves developed for an 1160 and 3000 printer to my 980, or if I even 
need to worry about this?  Alternatively, should I be using a 
different workflow/set of curves altogether?  TIA for you assistance 
and advice.
