Digital BW, The Print

Ed

You do not use a profile when doing BO printing.  ICC profiles are used for
a colour managed workflow (be that colour or greyscale images).  BO printing
uses a Same as Source workflow ­ ie you deliver the printer a gray gamma 2.2
file (or whatever your workspace is).  You are not tagging the file with a
specific printer/media ICC profile.  The reason he is getting a magenta cast
is because of the age old problem of the Epson driver using colour inks
unsuccessfully to create greyscale.  BO avoids this completely by only using
the one ink ­ black ­ and simply using the spacing of the dots to create
shades of grey.

Subject: [Digital BW] BO on 2200 with new Epson profiles

A poster at Dpreview.com was complaining about a magenta cast to his B&W
prints 
using the new Epson profiles.  Can anyone verify that the new profiles
actually permit 
true BO printing?

thanks, Ed
