Digital BW, The Print

Hello Paul,

Thanks for the tip on the Golden Trout Photo Workshop...sounds great.  Is this the first week of July (1st through the 7th)?  You mentioned Roy will be there...could use some help with QTR.  I believe that this is the only week dedicated to photography?

Regards,
Jeff

 I'm there also.  Note that Roy is going to the Golden Trout Photo Workshop
 this year.   (For Golden Trout workshop information, see
 http://home1.gte.net/res0a2zt/GTthumbnails.html )
 
 Note also that I'm trying to bring the dedicated B&W market to an "open
 source" approach that, in effect, puts the Epson k3 approach onto most other
 printers.  That way, what we learn on a 220, for example, will apply to the
 2400 and most other Epson printers.  (The inks will also be
 interchangeable.) I'll have a 220 at this Summer's Golden Trout workshop.
 It's the "mule" printer, in more ways that one.  (For the open source ink
 approach, see http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/4K+.pdf )

 That does give you the least amount of color and preserve the ABW mode
 printing.  With the 2400, it's rather easy to just swap the yellow and EZ-W
 carts as needed.  However, I'm guessing more people will want to use the
 3800 with the yellow installed, because swapping large format carts is not
 easy.  As such, going forward, I'm interested in being sure we have top
 notch B&W workflows that utilize these machines with their intended ink
 layouts.
 
 So, I'm moving to a more unified approach that will make the skills that are
 gained,  as well as the inks themselves that are used on a 220 approach
 applicable to the 2400, 3800, as well as the 220, 1280 and virtually all
 Epson hextone printers.  These are all much more alike than most realize,
 and we can run the same inks in the entire group with a relatively unified
 approach.  
 
 There will, hopefully, be no reason to re-invent the wheel for each system.
 
 I hope this allows us to go forward at the least cost not only in materials
 but also in the time and energy needed to master our art.
