Digital BW, The Print

Julian/Hap,

Sorry, I've been away from my computer for several days.

I do not use Lyons curves. I simpler than that. I just
use the Epson profile specific for the Epson Photo paper 
and the correct settings on the printer dialog.

You get neutral continous tone black & white prints with
Epson color OEM inks.

You can achieve this with the 1270 and 1280 (1290).

The quality is amazing. The only drawback is that the prints
are not archival. So not for selling but great for portfolio
or proof.

I also have a 1160 that produces, with the right profile,
very good black and white pictures with the OEM inks. But
it clearly shows more dots than the 1270, probably because
it is a 4 ink printer.

I posted the instructions on the list a month ago more or
less. If you do a search you should find them.

If not let me know and I will repost them.

Jose Luis.

Jose Luis will have to answer that one - I only saw the output on an Epson
glossy paper. I know that Jose has spent about 2 weeks in seclusion testing
this stuff!
