RE: [Digital BW] warm tone

2014-09-11 by Elliot Puritz

HI David:

 

Well, I certainly don't know very much about the details except to write
that the Canon site and other sites allude to printing of black and white
photos without any issue.  They use their own drivers with a separate plug
in.  You are correct in that AFAIK there are no third party inks.

 

Perhaps I can find some additional information..just curious since I am
using the Cone inks to good advantage.

Are you referring to the 2880?

 

Probably. I don't keep up with printers I'm not using. 

Incidentally, alluding to black and white printing using OEM inks:  Have any
considered the Canon models with their Lucia pigment inks?  12 tones
including 5 black inks..intuitively one might expect the tonal range with
more black inks to be superior.  However, I am not certain.

I don't believe Canon has anything like ABW. Plus, there are no aftermarket
cartridges or B&W inks. QTR doesn't work on Canon printers. I think it is a
non-starter for B&W. I'd love to be proven wrong.
