Digital BW, The Print

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your response. Right now I have an old Lexmark X84/85 all in one printer. To be honest I quite like some of the results as it has a slight painterly quality which really suits my style. As you can probabaly guess I am very new to using Photoshop and working in a digital darkroom so there is a lot of room for improvement. The negs I used were scanned in from B&W film and I really like the quality of the scanned images and the detail from these.

All the best - Helen

  What do you have at the moment?  The magenta cast is not so much a printer
  issue but rather a workflow issue.  The new Epson 2400 takes a lot of these
  things off the table with a great deal of simplicity but very good B&W can
  be had on much cheaper printers with the right ink and workflow.

  Steve
