OT - B&W Printing

2005-08-26 by mxgo95747

I know I am going off topic by talking about B&W printing.  But, please forgive the 
intrusion on these on going discussions abou MF aand new Canon cameras.

I have noticed while the R2400 printer images look great on photo paper.  but, not so 
good with matte papers.  I wil post my observatioons:

As we all know, the photo quality paper printing is great.

But, the matte paper printing is not as good as MIS EZ inks.  I do miss the Eboni in the 
black position.  With images that have a lot of black, the shadows are not as good as using 
a simple C86 loaded with the EZ inks.  But, where the the shadows are limited, an image 
looks pretty good.  I do like the warm tone (stock, no other adjustments) with a dark 
adjustment.  

I sure hope that MIS gets out their K3 ink set soon, so I can enjoy the look of the Eboni 
Black.

Printing on EEM paper on the R2400, really makes me appreciate my C86 loaded with EZ 
inks.  

Just a few thoughts.  Sorry for my intrusion with these thoughts on B&W printing with the 
R2400.
