Digital BW, The Print

Hello all,

Recently I bought the C 84 printer, and I can assure you that it prints
BO very well with the original Epson ink (and it is really black only,
no underprinting) The D-max on Photorag is 1.60-1.62. Even on pretty
cheap( 200 sheets for $30) 160grs mat paper the same D-max is reached.

greetings,

Ed,

The "EZ" C82/84 inks assume no profiles or anything.  That is, they
were
aimed at novices who would not do anything to their systems.  So, I'd
use
"same as source" with a file that has not embedded profile.

The "warm" is un-toned carbon.  If you want a tone between neutral and
carbon, you can, for example, stick a warm cart in the yellow position.
 If
you do this you must use a grayscale file to print from.

The C82 worked best with EEM and PhotoRag because of the good dmax
these
papers have.  A "problem" with the C82 was that it under-printed the
100%
black with some color inkset.  This made for smoother transitions but
lowered the dmax.  Whether this is still true with the C84 is unknown.
Someone sent me a dmax reading that may indicate the C84 has a better
dmax.

Good luck.

Subject: [Digital BW] new UT EZ inks for C84 printers

Hi all, I've just ordered a set of the EZ B&W UT inks to use with an
Epson
C84 printer 
that I got for free when I bought a computer recently.  Here is the
info
from the MIS 
website:

"There are 2 inksets for the Epson C82 (&C84) , a warm set (EZW) and a
neutral set 
(EZN).  Both make beautiful prints with out  any workflow whatsoever. 
This
means 
that all you have to do is install the cartridges in the printer and 
print.
There are no 
adjustments required, no curves to fuss with, and any software that
can
print an 
image can be used. The images can be in color or grayscale, it does
not
matter.  Of 
course you will need some fine art paper and you have to print in the
Best
Photo 
mode with no color adjustment.  It is Easy to make great looking B&W
archival quality 
prints.  Matte and glossy prints can be created by selecting either an
Eboni
black 
cartridge, for matte prints, or the Photo Black cartridge for glossy
prints.
The 
Ultratone CMY cartridges work on both types of media. The inks were
optimized for 
Hahnamuhle Photo Rag paper.  Other papers may produce different
results."

My questions:  what Proof Setup, if any, would you use in PS7 or CS? 
Would
you send 
the images to the printer with the Printer Space set to Same As
Source?

Thanks for any info
Ed
