Digital BW, The Print

Mike,

I can't explain how the GB software interfaces with the Epson 
profiles, but it apparently does as I get drastically different 
output if I accidently select the wrong paper profile.  I have the 
GB software "on" all the time for both my B&W and color work.  I 
have pretty much eliminated the green cast and other significant 
color cast from my B&W using EEM paper.  I have to admit, it was a 
lot of trial and error.  It's not perfect, but it is a HUGE 
improvement over what I was able to obtain just using the Epson 
profiles without the GB.  You may want to refer to a previous post I 
made on this topic.. message number 40176.  By the way, the accuracy 
of my color output was noticeably improved also. Good luck!
