Re: Epson 4000 BO and profiling

2004-05-12 by brinkker2000

Hi Scott,

>>> So why mess with another ink?   

For BO printing everything I've read says Ultrachrome matte black is 
quite warm in tone.  I take it you don't mind this warmness? 

Also, for 7 ink B&W prints, profiles make a big difference by 
eliminating the blue and magneta color casts -- I saw before and 
after 4000 prints. My local shoop qouted Gretag print profiles 5 for 
$200. Not outrageous in my opinon. 
These are 2 easy methods in my opinion to get really good B&W...
