Re: [Digital BW] Test Image(s) for evaluating B&W printing?

Val,

A good reference file to work with is the 21-step tone wedge file. You can
find this in the "Files" section of the group's homepage under "Ink Sets,
reviews and techniques". The file name is: 21stepNew.jpg.

Also of help is a file: Tylers_Zees.tif.sit  which is in the "Files" section
under "Image processing and workflows"

As far as using the Canon you are a bit on your own. All of the existing
software for using grayscale inks are for the Epson printers. If you want to
use the Canon's color inks to print grayscale you will find information on
using CYMK inks for printing in B&W in the archives.
