Digital BW, The Print

Several people have mentioned seeing color dots in 2400 "B&W" scans when
examined by a loupe.  So, I took a 4800 "neutral" B&W test print and a 2200
UT7 matched test print (neutral curve modified to more closely match the
4800 tone).  The exact same file and EEM paper batch were used in these
prints.  They were scanned on my Epson Perfection 1600 at 1600 dpi with the
exact same settings.  So that the dots would show better on monitors, I
increased the file size of the small sections of these RGB scans 3 times.
The images are posted and linked to the bottom of my information page at
http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/index.htm.

 

What surprised me was that Epson appears to be using more than the minimum
necessary color - even the yellow - in its B&W mode, neutral prints.
