Digital BW, The Print

Tom,

IMO, it's not necessary. I don't feel that Epson 2200's, and certainly the large format Epson printers, vary that much in manufacture. Therefore, again, IMO, I'm banking on the fact that Bowhaus's profiles will get me squarely on the playing field. Once targets are printed, measured and linearized, then I have a profile customized for my setup.

About the only addtional thing I did was to print "Test Patches" on each of the papers I wanted to profile for to check the black ink limit. I found, in most cases, that my limit varied from the one set in the profiles from Bowhaus. Therefore, I adjusted to maximise (excuse the pun) dMax.
