Digital BW, The Print

I have the same problem printing black and white prints using the built-in
profiles. When I use the Epson Colorlife profile, the images come out
more-or-less black and white. My understanding is that to get true black and
white, you really need to use a black and white inkset (that replaces the
colored inks with shades of gray), such as any of those mentioned often on
this list, rather than the Epson colored inks.

The cast you are seeing is most probably due to an incorrect ink profile.
Having the inks profiled should help dramatically.

  Subject: [Digital BW] Purple cast on B&W prints


  B&W prints in Photoshop 5.0(grayscale)printed on my refurbished Epson
  1270 have a purple-magenta cast. When printed on an Epson 600 they
  appear as normal B&W, as they also do on the monitor. Can adjustments
  be made in Photoshop to correct this? Is there something wrong with
  my 1270 printer? Prints are on Epson Glossy Photo Paper with Epson
  standard inks. Any help would be appreciated
