Re: [Digital BW] Epson 1160, 1280, 3000 ????

Hello Terry,
Yes, I obtained a set or curves from Paul. When I printed a
21 step and graduated grey scale, the shading seemed to not
be linear and the one photo I did print seemed to have flat
grey areas without tonal variation...

Are you saying that the curves for the E1270 
and E1280 are not identical? I thought they were
the same only with the 1280 being capable of 
edge-edge prints ....

I Am Frustrated .. I purchased what I had thought was the
best (consumer priced) Epson printer only to find 
six months later that it is the least desirable one to own.

I am spending 10x more effort attempting to
get Black&White than I ever did with Color.. Pain !!!

Thanks,
Alex P

Alex,

Chances are you have those curves if you got them from Paul. The last 
set we did were the 9th generation. Contact me off list and I will 
send those curves to you if you need them. I know Paul was working on 
the 1270 curves, but I don't know how far they have progressed. One 
other thing I forgot to mention, but that you are probably aware of, 
the 2000P curves were written for a PC, not a Mac - the curves are OS 
dependent.

Terry
