Digital BW, The Print

Hello Antara,

>I used your settings and got a beautiful print on EAM. (6x8)
>Thanks again for your time and explainations.

You're welcome, that's good news.


>Now I'm going to print a big one! Do you find this BO has size 
>limitations based on the dots? 

No, the dot patterns make particular tones and don't change with size
of print.  There's just more of them.  Dots.  Millions of dots.  <g>



>Have you by any chance compared this method to using  the 
>OPM driver

No, I haven't.


>How about color shifting, fading or longevity?

I'm not sure what you're asking.  These are ink issues and have
nothing to do with the printing method.

I only recently got my 2200 and I'm planning to try the MIS Eboni ink
for BO prints, as it is not as warm as the Epson Matte Black and has
excellent longevity without color shifting.  I've also found that the
2880 dpi setting on the 2200 makes prints that have better fine detail
resolution and have no dither banding, compared to the 870 at 1440
dpi.
So I think I'm going to like this for BO, but I'm also keeping an eye
on the new Septone system, which looks very promising.

Regards,
Clayton
