Digital BW, The Print

Thanks, Paul, I'll try your settings.  I found that Norm Koren's 
color setting for MHW paper was better for B&W than his B&W setting 
(on a 1280, he developed his settings on a 1270), and good for color, 
too.  It approaches your settings, but you have much less magenta.

I run Win98 Second Edition at home.

what you have learned.  If you correct the magenta with more green, 
the green cast increases and the same with the reverse.  The best I 
have been able to do using color inks is the following: Cyan +4, 
Magenta -11,  Yellow +6 with contrast at +4 and saturation at +6 
using gamma of 2.2 for MHW paper.  Epson exchanged a 1280 that 
required even more negative magenta correction than the above.  Color 
prints with these settings are pretty good.  But, you are right in 
certain conditions you describe the magenta bug comes back to life.  
My solution is to go to hex black printing with the 1280 and try the 
2200 for color, particularly since the inks have more longevity.  
Glad you posted your note, good to know that others have noted the 
same.  One question.  What operating system are you using?  I wonder 
if the driver for XP has this problem.
