Re: Epson Gray Balancer Experience

cast in the lighter values."

Mike,

You won't ever be able to remove the green cast or
"metamerism" completely. I have blown a lot of time
and media working with Epson's Gray Balancer and it is
my opinion that it is impossible to get a neutral
black and white print out of the 2200 without going to
carbon pigments or printing black only. Even if you
take what you think is your closest print from under
incandescent light to daylight. The evil green will
appear. The best thing I did was to give up trying and
go to quadtones for my B&W.

Good Luck,

Bill
