Digital BW, The Print

Ian, that's great news. When I set up my 4800 that was the very first thing
that the instruction said to do, a head alignment and nozzle check. Now open
up the ABW and look at the sliders there. Yes, the dartboard inside of ABW
has sliders. They are just much less accurate than those that you pay the
extra money for. Realize that I do have PFP that David is talking about
using. It is great, but If you don't have the money than certainly use the
sliders in ABW. If you want to spend some and not a lot, go to QTR. Enjoy
your clog free printing.

prints

 

I just wanted to post an update to thank everyone for their input and 
help. At this point, I'm getting some decent prints finally.
I have a suggestion for Epson. The set-up instructions should require 
a nozzle cleaning and head alignment be run before ever attempting to 
print anything with this printer. 25 test prints and about 30% of my 
ink were wasted before i ran both of these utilities and "voila"... 
not only is the image quality perfect... the hues are gone and I'm 
getting very accurate prints with color management turned off in PS 
and using the ABW settings without any adjustments. I'm still a bit 
irked that I should have had to spend $100 in materials (ot to mention 
late night hours pulling my hair out) before realizing that running 
the nozzle/head utilities might be the solution. I've stil not run a 
test allowing PS to control the color management through icc profiles 
but that's next.
