Digital BW, The Print

Hi,
I've been experimenting with the Spyder 3 Print extended greys workflow and it's the fastest, easiest way I've found to get a dead neutral BW print from a printer with black plus two grey shades. Because the hue as well as luminance are colour managed, it is simple to get a neutral print.

Epson Advanced BW does use a bit less coloured ink and Quadtone Rip uses less still; I'm currently doing fade tests to see if using the colour driver via the extended greys profile makes a significant difference as the print ages.

good luck,
Richard
