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

2014-10-28 by Bob Frost

Hi,

I've just sold a used R2400 to a Mac owner, and he can't get B&W  prints 
without a magenta color cast, no matter what profile he uses. No casts with 
my Windows setups and the same paper profiles. Has ColorSync got more 
gremlins in it? But if you are using Photoshop, that should avoid any 
colorsync problems, shouldn't it? Is it a genuine printer profile, or an 
Apple modified one? Just a few thoughts, as we've been scratching our heads 
for two weeks on this problem.

Thank you for your response. I just had ColorHQ redo my profiles and just 
assumed that they were good. However, I have changed just about everything I 
have to get better matches, both for color and B and W and I am still not 
where I need to be. I have a new Eizo that is very well calibrated, I have a 
new iMac and I have gone from CS6 to PS CC. So, perhaps I need to have the 
profiles done again.
