Re: [Digital BW] Why is a magenta cast in my Epson C80 prints but not Ilford glossy?

Hi Martin,

Thanks for your advice. Of course doing color prints is just as hard 
as black and white printing to be honest :)... I'm just trying to 
figure out how to do better matte prints.

Using the PhotoEnhance4 option very well and the colors turned out a 
lot better :)

Thanks for your advice.
