I was somewhat confused by the last posts on "coloration" on the Epson r2400 ABW prints. One poster noted that he printed an image on the Warm setting and got a neutral print. Perhaps by "neutral" he meant that there was no changing color cast or change from one color to another as you worked your way from darks to light, but by definition, the warm print has a warmer - dare I say it - yellower color tone to the whole image. Yes, smooth across the whole range of tones, but still warmish/yellowish. Likewise, I have found the Nuetral/darker default setting to be slightly toward the green/blue and therefore have started printing with the adjustment wheel set at 3 horizontal and 3 vertical which to my eyes takes the chill off the default setting, but still does not look like a "warm" print. I use EPSG paper. Therefore, there seems to always be a color tone to the B&W output. This is a good thing in that we can adjust to taste. So after all of this, I am confused by the question and responses. Thanks for any further comments. By the way, I just printed last night a version of a cherished darkroom print and I must say that it looks way more "neutral" than my selenium toned Ilford Multigrade version. This is an amazing printer. Scott
