Digital BW, The Print

Barry, could you clarify what you have done? It sounds like you have used Monaco and Grey Balancer at the same time? I am sure I am not the only one that would like to hear the details of this technique! -- Andrew C.

  I thought I might share with you the results of my efforts to get a 
  decent B/W print from my 2200. I have used the Grey Balancer and 
  Monaco to profile and to say that I am pleased with the result is an 
  understatement. I have printed out the improved 21 Step grey scale. 
  The scale looks perfectly uniform thoughout. I can easily see 
  density variation up to the 97% point. The tone is just about dead 
  neutral. 
  Please bare in mind that I am using the photo black and Heavy Weight 
  Matte, I'm waiting delivery of Archival Matte and Matte Black ink.
  The scale is better than any I have printed on my 3000 or my last 
  1160. I might just sell the both of them!
  One point I noticed about the Ultrachrome inks is that they take 
  quite a while to "set". I noticed color differences for almost 24 
  hrs. 
  I know have a dual purpose printer so I'm dead chuffed to say the 
  least...
  I only wish I could afford a 7600!

  Barry
