Re: BO Printing with scanned negatives (newbie question)

2005-03-28 by Steven Karafyllakis

The R800 driver does not allow you to do black only, and I believe the 
R1800 is set up the same way. The i-photo.com website has some tests 
prints of the R1800 B&W, and frankly, they aren't great.
QTR might support those ptinters by the time the R1800 is available; 
I'm hoping to do a two ink B&W setup, with all those other ink 
positions for toning, glop, whatever. Paul is also planning to support 
it as well, so that should give us some good B&W solutions for that 
printer.
