Digital BW, The Print

Steve,

Thanks for your response.  Sounds like Somerset Enhanced does a good job 
for you.  I'll give it a try to see if it works with my current project.  

One more point.  Do you use Piezo software with Somerset Enhanced?  The 
new PiezoTone inks?  If so, do you find the profiles to be satisfactory when 
moving from one paper to another.  I am finding that  with PiezoTone ST the 
same file prints with significant  differences in the output, i.e., the print, 
depending on whether I use Archival Matte, H. Photo Rag, or Museo ( Museo 
prints are much too heavy, although the paper can be made to look as good 
as the other two -- EAM and Photo Rag are much more consistent, although 
Photo Rag seems a little more contrasty).  

I was under the impression that the profiles were suppose to narrow the 
differences between the papers much more than they actually do.  Perhaps I 
am expecting too much.  But it would be nice if it were possible to go from one 
paper to the next without too much additional difficulty.  

I have no quarrel with the final output, however.  I agree with Austin.  The 
results on the Epson 3000 can be very stunning indeed with the Piezo 
system.
