Digital BW, The Print

Hi Philip,

Have you checked out Carl Schofield's "photorealistic" method of 
printing that was discussed here some months ago? He explains his 
method here:

http://www.luminous-landscape.com/reviews/printers/2200-bw.shtml

I was initially sceptical since I've always read that "No Color 
Adjustment" is the way to go using various paper profiles, but this 
method has worked remarkably well for me. I find that it also opens 
up the shadow areas, whereas some of the canned Epson profiles tend 
to be too contrasty with blocked shadows.

I've also been experimenting with OPM (Open PrintMaker) and QuadTone 
RIP on a Mac and they give gorgeous results as well, using OEM inks 
(I'm afraid I lost your original post so I don't know if you're on a 
Mac or PC).

Good luck,

Diana Park
