RE: [Digital BW] EZ Glossy Prints On C84

I don't have a C84 set up this way just now, but one way to darken the
prints is to use the "No Color Adjustment" setting.  In the "Color
Management" section of the driver, hit "ICM" first, then the "No Color
Adjustment" option appears.  You lose the sliders with this setting.

You might also consider adjusting the monitor to match the prints.  With the
Photoshop preview feature, this can be done relatively easily.  See
http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/Monitor-Profiling.htm .  I set up a function
key so that every time I open a grayscale file I just hit the function key
and the image on the monitor matches what the printer will make.

Hope this is useful.
