Digital BW, The Print

Hi Tom,

I have now worked with IP 6.0 and IJC/OPM on an Epson 2200 with UC inks. My favorite test image has been printed on several different papers with both products. To summarize, I'm finding the MAJOR difference between the two is that IJC/OPM clearly separates deep shadow tonality (say, 3/4 tones or, maybe, a little further down the scale to black) where IP simply dumps these values. This with the Black Point slider set to 100, too! I've actually been quite amazed by this performance level in IJC/OPM!

Also, the ability to get different "color" from very cool through warm to sepia is much easier and more consistent, IMO, with IJC/OPM than with the Tint Picker in IP.

Again, IMO, IJC/OPM is THE solution for printing B&W on an inkjet printer, especially using the stock UC inks.
