Digital BW, The Print

Hi:

One thing that I do is work in 16 Bit (48 bit) color until I have my 
color correction perfect for a Color print. Then change to 16 bit 
mono and mainly work on the contrast. Then I change it back to 16 
(48 total) bit color. Then I use the 2880 setting on glossy paper 
for the HWM Epson paper, setting the ink color to black. While I 
have yet to try any of the quadtone blacks, this results in a very 
good tonal range black and white. You might try this even though you 
printer has a little less resolution.

Regards,

Jeff Lee
