Espon 3000/Lysonic Ink Thread.

I made four prints today on Arches Hot Press
(straight watercolor paper, not inkjet specific)

Kept printing resolution at/above 480.  
Image floated in a black field

Print #1 - Proofed w/o adjustments
           Printed RGB/Cone Lysonic Driver LegionAHP
           Nice neutralish to warm (yellow)
Print #2 - Needed to make one part of the picture belong
           tonally, adjustments to only that portion.
           Not exactly sure why print 1 & 2 are not exactly
           the same except for that one area.
           Printed RGB/Cone Lysonic Driver LegionAHP
           Warmer, towards red, still very nice.
Print #3 - Dumped Color to print greyscale
           Printed RGB/greyscale
           Greener cast even in full black.
Print #4 - No adjustments from #3
           Printed Black Only/greyscale
           Neutral to cool blue even in full black

Full black when set side by side without seeing image is
enough to see the differences of print mode selection.
What great variety available!  What a confusing number of 
ways to make a 'mistake'.  The "uneducated" always thought you 
could just make the same photograph over and over...
...simply not so (at least it need not be so).

Final note...when I say greenish I mean its unmistakably
heading in that direction but not that it has gone competely
to tree frog green (as an example).

Also, the printer has no problem printing right over the
stamp & watermark on this paper.
