Digital BW, The Print

Go to http://www.sbillard.org/Shareware/QTRgui.htm and start from there. 
It's easy to download QTR and use it, everything is pretty much 
self-explanatory and if not it's covered in the instructions (I'm assuming 
it's QTR is available for the 2400, I use it with the 2200). Making your own 
ICC profiles is a different matter but just downloading and using QTR is 
simple.

Subject: [Digital BW] Black and white photo with epson 2400


Hey guy's, how is everyone?  I posted a question several months ago in 
regard to printing
black and white photographs from my epson 1280.  It was apparent after 
speaking to some
of the pros in the forum, that I was not going to be able to accomplish this 
with the 1280
because of the One Black Ink. I did OK for a while channel mixing and adding 
a color balance
adjustment layer with 10% blue. But I was not happy. I finally went out and 
bought the Epson
2400. "GREAT PRINTER"  I've been using Epson for several years and this will 
be my 5th Epson
printer. It was a bit challenging at first but after some trial and error 
and expensive paper I've
Finally got it.  I would like it if the printing experianced would look at 
my photo and tell me if
i'm mixing good here. I've been working on my Black and Whites for some time 
now and I like
the look and feel of my images.  When I printed this photo on the 2400 with 
all color
management off , system calibrated, the print is dead on. Beautiful in Matte 
and Semi gloss. I
would like to take it to the next level and print using the curves you guy's 
speak about using
the Quadtone Rip. Can someone explain the procedure and how or what's the 
best curve or is
it up to me to figure that out, i'm really lost in this subject.

Thanks and here is the link to the photo.
