Digital BW, The Print

Ann, I've been doing monotones for a good while but not entirely satisfied with my prints.  I first printed with 1280 and for the last 2 years a 2200.  I have been considering ( for about 2 years LOL) converting my 1280 to a dedicated b/w printer but have not gotten around to it.  I learned about QTR and demoed it for several weeks--decided it was just the thing for me since I use the 2200 for color prints also and did not want to make it a dedicated b/w printer.  I'm very pleased with the prints.  Its worth trying and you can get help here and on the new QTR mail list/forum   ( http://groups.yahoo.com/group/QuadtoneRIP/  ).  

In the past I converted to duotones (quads actually most of the time) to try and deal with metamerism but QTR deals with most of it.  I would recommend it.

  I have been printing good not great B&W using PS, Channel mixer, altering RGB levels, printing on a 2200 using Epson color inks. Is there a method to upgrade my level of printing using this technique. The messages I have been reading on this site seem to support using shades of black inks on dedicated printers, and QTR or RIP. Not being a technocrat this is a new level of learning for me. Alternatives? Thanks montauklady gpfly205ss@...
