[Digital BW] Re: What would be a good B&W setup?

2003-05-10 by B. Alex Pettit Jr.

What inks/workflow are you using with the 2000P ?

I have a setup using a custom 'tint' with PictureWindows 3 Pro
software that I find works very well. In fact, a MIS FSE inkset
with the Epson 2000P in its default ICM mode really does a quite
reasonable job , just that it 'turns on' the K at 80% and the dots are
visible. My workflow only uses K from 100%-94% and the darkest 
'grey' to 80% where the transition back to Epsons CMY and LCLMY take
over. I have never successfully gotten the lighter color transitions
to work without either a shade step or flat area in the curve.
( and I have maybe 400 test strips to prove my tenacity in attempting 
 to do so. )
