Digital BW, The Print

Thank you John,

You are right. I recently changed to a Mac after seven years of PC's, on the advice of a graphic designer. I am floundering may way around. I downloaded an updated 1160 driver for Mac from Epson's website. I followed the instructions for expanding the file and installing and assumed that when I got the message 'Installation Complete', that was what it meant. After your email I did more poking about and found that not to be the case. However, now that I do have the correct driver installed, the problem still exists. I am still getting posterisation, not continuous tones.

Thanks for your help anyway.

David Herrod.

  Dave stop right there! Are you using Paul's curves or are you using QTR? If you are using 
  Paul's curves then use Epson's print driver but...when you mention EvenTone that's part of 
  the Gimp driver not Epson's print driver.

  I'm going to take a wild guess that you are on a Mac and you chose the wrong print driver in 
  the Printer Setup Utility.
