Neutral Prints On 2200

2003-12-09 by Shilesh Jani

Hello All,

I am fairly experienced with using numerous grayscale inks on a 
1280.  Having previously used color inks to print b/w, I know how 
challenging (and frustrating) it can be.  So I was impressed when a 
friend of mine recently showed me a 13 x 19 b/w print he made on his 
2200.  It was absolutely neutral and showed no evidence of metamerism.

I went to his home last night and saw first-hand how he stumbled upon 
this.  Here goes:

Paper:  DotWorks FineArt HeavyWeight paper
Printer Settings: Enhanced Matte media setting, 1440 dpi, ICM, NCA
Profile:  Downloaded from the dotworks.com website.

That is it!  The image space can be either grayscale or color RGB.

This was the best print I  have seen from a 2200 that did not use 
some fancy RIP.  I am not in anyway connected to DotWorks.  But I am 
sufficiently impressed and thought you 2200 owners may want to know.

I am going to play with his system some more and see if I can get 
such fine prints using the profile on other papers.

Regards.

Shilesh
