Digital BW, The Print

See the following site.  I would strongly recommend these profiles over the
Epson ones for the papers profiled.

For B&W, if you are on a Mac you should explore QTR....

You will probably be dramatically surprised by the increase in B&W
capability.

Subject: [Digital BW] Newbie's luck printing B/W on 2200


I've been having a grand time playing with the B/W capabilities of
the 2200. In fact I've been having better luck with B/W than with
color. I've been able to get some rather nice prints out of the 2200
with little tweaking of parameters. And I have been using the color
mixer in PS7 to adjust the tonality of the print. It's still not
silver but I am very satisfied with the results using UC inks. I've
been doing some comparisons with samples from a company that prints
using Cone Selenium and Sundance inks. I wish I had their sample
image so I could see if I can match tonality, contrast, shadow and
highlight detail one to one. Because I have different images the
best I can do is make visual comparisons of similar areas in each
image.

I am simply blown away by the Epson 2200. Of course I have never
used the other Epson printers with B/W inksets so I have no
comparison other than the samples from a service bureau.

I do have a question though. Obviously Epson includes profiles for
their papers as a means to lock in that market. I want to use the
Hanahmuele (did I spell that right?) Torchon 285 paper. Any tips for
profiling this paper and other papers?

Thanks ... I am happy to be printing B/W in daylight ...
