Re: Using Epson 1280 to get good B&W prints

2002-07-18 by markhahn2000

A good friend of mine purchased a 1280 and put a media street (?) CIS 
into it.  He mainly prints color, but after calibrating everything 
with the Monaco system was able to print out stunning b&w prints, 
which aside from the color shift, were much better than my MIS VM 
1180 prints... but I decided to stick with the 1180 & VM quadtones 
because I didn't like the color shift.  ...there is also that 
longitivity issue.
