Digital BW, The Print

Steve,
Things runs much better now, no cloggs and banding... boy what a 
releif... its getting better for each day. For the moment I'm 
printing testprints, highkey image with very smooth light tones to 
check the separations in the upper tones, it looks promising so far 
as it dosen't feel dull grey. I will do a couple of day's testing 
with different kind of images before I start doing more serious work 
on more expensive papers. One thing I wonder about is "Print Head 
Alignment" it tells you are required to use Epson special roll 
paper!!? Is there any way to get around this? Why have to use 
special paper for alignments??

It sure was, but how do you do it with the syringe? Sounds like you 
have to take things apart (printhead)?

I'm using the 7000 driver now, I tried with the 7500 driver but the 
result was awful with Pauls new curve for 7500 (vm75-7k-n1). Thanks 
Paul for the new curve.
My workflow so far...
Epson 7500 with 7000 driver
Using workingspace "AdobeRGB 1998"
Pauls curve "vm75-7k-n1"
Printspace "Same as source"
Media Type "Photo Paper"
Color Management "No Color Adjustment"
Paper "EAM"

Yes the dmax is not so good, I get readings of 1,65 on EAM I wish it 
could be up around 1,8. I'm allergic to grain and hope the 
smoothness will be there.
