Digital BW, The Print

Mark,

I've developed the Photoshop adjustment curve below for digital negatives
used to print on silver/gelatin print material.

In    Out
0%    10%
5%    11.9%
10%    13.9%
20%    17.6%
30%    21.9%
40%    26.5%
50%    31.5%
60%    36.8%
70%    43.0%
80%    52.0%
90%    70.0%
95%    87.0%
100%    100%

Using a Epson 2200, and Pictorico OHP material.
Setup: photo black ink,
Premium glossy photo paper setting, untagged grayscale image, printer
source, same as source. Let the negative cure overnight before using.

Works great!


Best Regards,

David R. Spielman

  Take a look at this site:

  http://www.kcbx.net/~mhd/2photo/outneg/outneg0.htm

  Judging from all this author's other work I would expect that these
  recommendations are about as good as you can get (people who have
  seen his prints rave about the quality).  He goes through the
  technical details at great length so I doubt that you even need to
  buy the book... except that it may be good reading... don't know.

  PS  Epson Photo Quality Glossy Film is quite expensive.  I have read
  from other sources that some people have reasonable luck with the
  cheap matte HP photoquality inkjet paper.  When I hold Epson
  photoquality paper to a light it obviously is *not* the right
  choice.  I have been debating going down this road myself as I prefer
  the look of *real* glazed photos.
