Re: [Digital BW] How to get neutral B & W prints

2014-10-27 by David Kachel

David, forgive me if I misunderstood but I think the OP said he was using a Canon IPF 6300, hence my suggestion of the Bowhaus software as I am not aware of any other B&W solutions, whether inks or software, for that printer. If the new software works like the earlier Epson version it will also allow toning. However from memory I believe that the Canon grey inks are more neutral than the Epson ones so just limiting the use of the colour inks should produce fairly neutral prints. David Whistance

Point taken. But, considering that the warm tone of carbon inks is a pretty universal problem, wouldn\u2019t it be likely that Canon\u2019s gray inks are more neutral because they are mixing them with cyan?
