Re: [Digital BW] Help me set up B&W digital printing, pleas

2007-03-26 by Tom Husband

Hi Mitch,

Check out item #9 and 9b on Clayton Jones's site.  It talks about the 2400
and printing B&W.
http://www.cjcom.net/digiprnarts.htm
Lots of good information on it.

QTR has a good Yahoo Group at:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/QuadtoneRIP/
Lots of excellent help there.

Clayton's site will get you going with the 2400 right off the bat.  It's a
great printer both with the Epson ABW (Advanced Black and White) and with
QTR

Hope that helps a bit.

Tom
