Digital BW, The Print

Fair enough.  Ciao.

For those using "Black Only" on the 21/2200 printer who are interested in
having a better "matching of monitor and print", make use of the PS soft
proofs available to you.  Carl Schofield has already posted soft proofs for
Gray Gamma 2.2 as the image workspace and the Epson driver set to 2.2 gamma
for a few papers here:

E.rtfd.sit

Note the settings in the readmes.

He has also kindly posted a soft proof for Clayton's Dot Gain 20% and 1.8
combination for EEM and EPSG here:

.2.1.2.22.31.97.0.35.0.1.1.1?user=scho&fpath=BO%20Printing&templatefn=FileSh
aring2.html

These are likely only truly valid for the printer, paper and ink combination
specified.  However, if you do use another printer you might still want to
try the soft proofs (with the settings for which they were intended!) as the
variance may not be too much, ie they may still be very useful and likely
much better than nothing at all.  Also, a soft proof for EEM is probably not
a bad approximation for many matte papers.

With a reasonably profiled monitor and these soft proofs the bulk of the
"matching monitor and print" issue is solved for you.

And for those who are interested, I have posted a pdf of the results of the
tests I mentioned in the earlier post here:
