Re: [Digital BW] Printing B&W photos with an Epson 1270

2003-04-22 by Jerry Olson

Try the MIS VM inkset, use paul roark's curves, and media street's
enhanced generations black ink for the black
position ink. NO inkjet looks like a fiber based air dried print. Try
Epson's Enhanced Matte for starters, til you
get used to digital printing. It is not expensive and has pretty good blacks.
