Digital BW, The Print

Richard, It will always come down to visual inspection. If you need to wait
a week then you wait a week to make your adjustments. If there is no
difference in dry down on silver rag with the same inks by just using PFP,
than perhaps the user of ABW has either missed something important in their
set up, or users of ABW and silver Rag better listen UP. Richard has some
news for you : ) .   I don't use silver rag as it is a PK ink paper. I can't
speak to those issues specifically. 

 

When I profile paper, I don't just wait a day before reading my targets, I
wait up to a week.  Ian also posted in his first request for help that he
just broke open his piggy bank and while I don't take that in a literal way,
I do expect that he might have limited funds and for now, my answer to his
questions are based on ABW and how to get a good print. If he has another
piggy bank that he is ready to crack into, I am sure he'll have lots of info
to go back to and see how to spend another $500.00.

 

So Ian, Are you getting this? Or are we talking right past you?

You can have all the sliders in the world but you still need to look at the
print to evaluate what they do. Simple as that; the eye of the sniper. I
didn't even look at the sepia setting in Print Fix. Why? I am pig headed.
Really, almost all the preset sepia settings stink for what I want. Ian will
still be the ultimate eye looking at his prints; either with or without
additional software.

Very true. But CD's point about control thru the sliders in PFP, and the 
tester to look at and make corrections is what makes the difference. The dry

down with ABW is also a factor with Silver Rag at least, because it is 
considerably different from the wet print. It seems to just keep on going.
The sliders beat the dartboard.
