Re: [Digital BW] lack of continuous tone on b & w image

2001-10-10 by JackG

Good Morning Jose Luis,

Carolyn mentioned that the profiles were already on the Mac. So I am using
the Mac profile.

I had just done a new color calibration on the Mac and the print I had made
before looked darker on the screen than before, but it was the continuous
tone that I was interested in checking. The print matched the density on
screen, a little too dark. I checked again this morning and maybe it is just
the density difference, but it seems the reds, her lips for instance, seem
to be darker than the print made using the black only profile. Even if this
is so, I assume this could be corrected in PS before printing using RGB. The
continuous tone is well worth it though. This was an outdoor bridal portrait
and it also seems there is more detail in the gown than with the black only
printing.

Regards,

John in Okc


: John,
:
: I'm glad you it works for you.

: Make sure you copied the profile in the colorsync profiles
: folder. I should list in your printer dialog. You should have
: an 'Epson Premium glossy paper' profile (I have it in my windows
: machine for my 1270). Just make sure you select it in the
: printer dialog along with the 'Perceptual' option.

: Are you using the PC profiles or Mac ones?
