Digital BW, The Print

Jim,

I have been paying attention to this list for nearly three years (I know - 
you'll say I'm a very slow learner!).

I've even even bought MIS quad black inks and used them in a 1270, but I got 
fed up with the clogging of the printhead, so quickly gave that up.

I now use my 2100 (2200USA) with Epson inks and papers and ImagePrint 5.6. 
That gives quite nice B&W results on matte papers - no clogging, 100yr print 
life - just a pity about the results on glossy paper.

I'm now trying out the R800 with its HighGloss Ultrachromes and Gloss 
Optimizer. That seems to do quite nice B&W out-of-the-box. But it is only 
A4.

As for me being in the dark ages, surely it's the devoted B&W fans who are 
still in the dark ages when B&W was the only way to produce images of the 
world around us. But they invented color photography quite a long while ago, 
and now we can get real images of the world on paper, that match what we 
see. I'd hate to be one of those animals whose eyes only detect B&W; but I 
sometimes get the feeling that some on this list would prefer not to have 
color vision!

Now look what you've made me say. ;)

Bob Frost.
