Re: [Digital BW] Best printer for B&W Printing???

2002-08-09 by Robert G. Morrison

When you do have a file ready to go please post to the files section on the
list.  Currently, using Imageprint I'm getting visible 0.5% separation
throughout the tonal range...this would be nearly 200 visible steps...but
I'd really like to try someone else's file to double check.  The imageprint
ramp that I'm getting is much smoother than anything that I've seen from a
piezo  or epson driver workflow to date...need to make a couple more tweaks
and then I will post epson 1280, piezo vs. imageprint piezotone comparisons.
Does anyone have an RGB workflow that works on a size color printer with
standard ink loadings...I remember that this was a problem with the RGB
workflow a while back...I've only used it in my 1160...and this is printer
is now retired.
