Re: [Digital BW] Grayscale printing on the Epson 2200

2003-12-10 by Tom Baker

You'd think Epson would catch on.  Almost everyone that has ever seen an official Epson b&w display print talks about how bad it is.  They don't seem to care.  On the other hand, they sell plenty of printers anyway.  So why do they bother?  (Not that we would expect Epson to answer.)

Its funny about Epson...

Im based in Beijing and in the fashionable downtown shopping mall 
of "Oriental Plaza" Epson are opening a display shop and have 
promotional A0 prints of the "Great Wall" everywhere in B&W. Ignoring 
the lack of sharpness in the image, the noticable yellow cast is 
certainly not doing them any favours in promoting their B&W 
capabilities.
