Digital BW, The Print

Steve,

I want some 100% black and 100% white in my prints.  The 100% white spots
have to be very small, but they add some sparkle as spectral highlights.
So, I avoid significant blank spaces at the ends of the levels histogram
(just a little for scanning and processing to give some room for errors and
sharpening), and for printing I have none at all.

Subject: [Digital BW] Basic levels adjustments


A basic PS question:  I am working my way thru Martin Evening's PS book as I
try to
learn more about digital.   I am a little confused by the discussion re
Output Levels in
the Image > Adjustments > Levels section.  Martin always seems to talk in
terms of
half tone printing presses and talks about constraining the output levels
(eg 12 to
243) to suit the press.  What if any alteration to these output levels
should I do to
print on an inkjet printer?   (I predominantly print using my Epson 2100 -
both B&W
and Colour but would also like to deliver content to larger format Epson
printers or
even a Lightjet printer at a lab.)

Thanks in advance

Steve
