Digital BW, The Print

Hello Ed,

I just started learning about BO printing a few weeks ago and ran 
into the same thing you have. The solution for my printer, a Canon 
s750, was to create a paper profile of plain paper so my printer 
would think I was printing only text and thus use only the black 
cartridge. I learned to use plain paper profile because all the 
prints up to then had that bluish-green cast to them too. I also 
check the selection for color management to Manual instead of Auto 
so it wouln't think it had to manage any color ink. My little 
printer is not as sophisticated as a high level Epson, so I think it 
presumes a little too much at times. 


Your friend in photography.
