Digital BW, The Print

Cleavis, I'm just not following you, some questions-

> Print #1 - Proofed w/o adjustments
>            Printed RGB/Cone Lysonic Driver LegionAHP
>            Nice neutralish to warm (yellow)
What does Cone Lysonic Driver LegionAHP refer to? Are you using thr 
Epson driver with a Cone profile for Legion Arches Hot Press? Or do 
you have a Cone driver of some kind? I know he distributed some at 
workshops.

> Print #2 - Needed to make one part of the picture belong
>            tonally, adjustments to only that portion.

I'm not sure what sort of adjustment you mean. Anything that adjusted 
tone? Did the print get lees red as it dried?

> Print #3 - Dumped Color to print greyscale
>            Printed RGB/greyscale
>            Greener cast even in full black.
Do you mean it was previously a color image, that you changed to 
greyscale? Did it have color in it before you changed or was it 
neutral?

> Print #4 - No adjustments from #3
>            Printed Black Only/greyscale
>            Neutral to cool blue even in full black
Do you mean you selected balck ink in the driver? If so, this makes 
sense since the Lysonic K ink is blueish.

What mode? Media selection?

Arches has a history of use for fine art inkjet prints, I can't quite 
tell what your workflow is from the above, but a good custom profile 
made specificly for the ink/paper/printer combo would move you miles 
closer to something more predictable, particularly with a careful 
media selection test in the driver to avoid mottle. Perhaps that is 
all old news to you.
