Now, I can hardly believe this, but... I'm printing black & white!
And a gooood one!!
Stuart, IT WORKS! Cool range and absolutely neutral prints; also I can
control the sepia or whatever else tone (if needed, now), almost in a
WYSIWYG way and with repeatable results (enough exclamation marks).
I consumed my grey matter quite a bit during the last months and the
solution was there. And I should be an experienced XPress user; shame on me.
Stuart, if you happen to find yourself in Italy, remember you have a whole
Italian dinner paid.
I'll go more into this intelligent trick and share the results here: the
good point with good ideas, is that they produce more ideas (not necessarily
as good, though!).
Thanks.
