Digital BW, The Print

Hi Ed,

It really all comes down to what level of printing you want to reach, how
much effort you're willing to put in, how much you want to spend, etc.

IP, is a workable "out of the box" solution; albeit expensive. QTR is a
great alternative if you're willing to expend some effort to get good
prints. If you really want complete control through creating your own
profiles, then IJC/OPM is your choice. Of course, there is always BO
printing using MIS Eboni black...can't beat the price on this one!

Basically, you'll have to experiment with different tools and techniques to
find out what works for you. IMO, no one can really tell you what to use nor
should they. Great to see new members on the forum and welcome to the world
of digital B&W print making.

Subject: [Digital BW] ImagePrint & 2200 For Black & White




I'm new to this forum and if I'm asking this in the wrong place I 
beg to be excused. 

I've been getting more and more into B&W digital photography since I 
started this hobby. I have Photoshop, and I was able to find a great 
deal on a used Epson 2200. I later bought Imageprint 5.6 for XP 
(upgraded to 6.0 without serious problems) because of problems I had 
when printing B&W. The change was greatly beneficial, but is this a 
setup that you experts would use? I guess my question is: Starting 
with the Epson 2200, what would be my best software/ink/paper 
combination if I used my 2200 as a dedicated B&W printer? Cost is a 
definite factor because I don't do this for a living.

Thanks,
