Re: Black only printing

2003-10-24 by Bob Michaels

Clayton Jones series of articles @
http://www.cjcom.net/digiprnarts.htm is very good. Clayton goes into a
lot of detail, possibly more than you need to start. 

I too am personally a fan of BO printing. I don't use it all the time,
but some images just look better that way. No need to be apologetic
about BO.

The Epson Black is a good ink. Only drawbacks are cost and the fact
that it will eventually fade being a dye ink. Epson Heavy Weight Matte
and Enhanced Matte are both very good papers. The EEM cost about 15%
more than HWM and seems about 15% better to my eye. Either will do you
well.

The key is to print what looks good to your eye, not what the rest of
the world is doing.
