RE: [Digital BW] Epson 2200 frustrations

2003-10-22 by Jake Hellbach

Glen,
I had the same problems with the 2200. I was about to buy a RIP software
when I tried one more time with the "out of the box" printer software.
I either use one of my digital photos and make it grayscale in Photoshop or
scan one of my b/w negatives.
Edit the photo any way you wish but before you print it, make it an RGB
file, not grayscale.
I use Epson Matt paper and use the Epson ICC profile that came with the
printer for that paper.
Using this setup, I now get excellent b/w prints.

Hope this helps,
Jake

  After following a recommendation about the Ilford Smooth Pearl paper, I
have made
  some decent b/w prints. However, they are not truly b/w. They have a very
slight
  sepia/brownish tone.
