Digital BW, The Print

Dan,

Yes, in the back of my mind has been my 
"Dummy toooo simple to be true" 6 color 
method VS Dan C's most amazing methods 
but I went ahead and did it anyway. 

Now Dan has come up with a simplified 
RGB 3000 solution.  Nice.

I actually worked out the 6 color solution a 
couple of years ago and posted it on the 
epson leben list and the digital darkroom site 
and gave it to MIS since I was beta testing 
for them at the time.   It took from then to 
now to come up with the inkset/media 
combination that is quite indestructable on 
glossy.  

Let's just say that a LOT of reverse 
engineering went into the Spectratones with 
the Epson 6 color RGB driver in mind.  

The 7000 solution is the same as the 1200 
solution or any epson 6 color solution and 
the curves are all written.  You just have to 
move the black point to the D-max and 
perhaps move the entire curve up or down a 
bit.  To simple.  I just eyeballed my curves 
from my printed grayscale.

Big snip

 On the
other hand with 7000's dropping in price 
maybe I'll be looking at replacing
the 3000 with one of those and the plain old 
"send grayscale image to the
printer" option will be the ultimate solution in 
the end, just like on the
1200.  But that just seems too easy.....
