Digital BW, The Print

I have to say that even with the Piezo software and inks, high contrast
images give me problems with posterization.  It is so tricky. On screen they
look fine, but when the print comes out, you can see it.  I do as much as
possible in 16 bit mode.  Once into 8 bit, and it is a very fine line
between posterization and no posterization.

Subject: Re: [Digital BW] Mac curves/posterization


Forgive me, but don't Paul's VM curves suggest using the Photo 
Quality Inkjet Paper setting (not HWM)?

With all respect to Paul and his wonderful work, I've found that 
his curves yield a great deal of posterization for me. I've tried 
various settings and paper choices and have run many sheets of 
paper through my Eppy 1280/Mac, but in the end I realized that 
some images (paritcularly high-contrast scenes) posterize no 
matter what. So far, I've had my best luck with the cool curve on 
Legion Photo Matte using the Photo Quality Inket Paper setting. 
YMMV.
