New method for 2200 BW

2003-12-09 by sanfo2003

I picked up the magazine "Mastering Digital Photography", a 
specialized issue from Photo Techniques magazine. In that issue is an 
article by Paul Schranz titled "Making Grayscale Pigment Prints on 
the Epson 2200" where Mr. Schranz outlines a printing method using 
the restricted gamut of the ColorMatch colorspace. I tried it and it 
works really well, except the shadows block up a bit below about 5%.

In my opinion, this method gets the best results yet when printing BW 
on the 2200 using OEM inks without a RIP, and it couldn't be simpler.

I would love to descibe the method but fear copyright issues. If you 
run across the magazine, check it out.
