These recent threads have revealed to me how little I really know about what
I'm doing when it comes to digital b&w printing.

The prints I make are decent, maybe even pretty good, using ABW on a R2400.
I guess I am using a grayscale workflow that involves editing with CS2 and
printing TIFF files from Qimage.

The idea of using a color workflow (TIFFs saved in RGB mode) instead never
crossed my mind.

Adding another layer of software to print TIFF files saved in Qimage using
QTR (which I tried awhile back) was just too much. (Anyone else use this CS2
-> Qimage -> QTR workflow?)

I guess now I wonder how much better my prints could be if I explored other
methods, inks.

Dave.
