Re: Getting perfect neutral prints from Epson 7600/9600 etc

2002-09-11 by neilhfolberg

I'm not an expert in metamerism - I am saying that I have never 
seen a B&W silver print or color print in any process that does 
not look somewhat different in different colored light sources.  
The prints do not have a weird color cast - they look nice in all 
light sources - daylight, tungsten, flourescent.

You cannot print a gray scale image and a color image in one 
run, but you can batch images of the same kind together in one 
run.
