Re: OT: Photoshop 7 Color Settings

Stephen,

What printer are you using? And what inks?

I've found that except for the 2200, most of the desktop epsons produce greenish (or purplish) BW prints when using the color ink. Switching to six-color grey inks will help a lot. 

Your color settings look fine - make sure you have "no color adjustment" set in your driver when you print.
