Greetings to all in this group, I am certain the answers I seek are in this forum somewhere, but I haven't located them yet. Hopefully the brain trust here can point me in the right direction. Just beginning to do a bit of BW printing on the inkjet, using a Canon i950, and I am getting a slightly magenta cast to the prints which come from scanned BW film. Doesn't happen with images shot on my digital cameras. I have made good BW prints from color-converted images from my Olympus C5050 zoom, and also from shooting in BW mode with my Leica Digilux 2. But when I scan BW negs, the prints have a slight cast to them, seemingly worse the "glossier" paper that I use. Needless to say, the images on the monitor have no color cast at all to them. I scan in BW mode using an Epson 1670 at 3200 dpi, print from a TIFF image in grayscale on the i950, and only use Canon paper. Also-- the digi BW shots, doesn't seem to matter whether I print in RGB or grayscale, those prints have good BW quality. Why the problem with the scanned negatives? I would greatly appreciate any advice. Regards, Randal Dean
