Digital BW, The Print

There's little wrong with ABW but adding from time to time a 
custom QTR profile to it at least gives some consistency in 
the tone range. You may call that tinkering. There could be 
some gain in Dmax with a RIP if you can not find a suitable 
paper profile in the ABW mode of the Epson driver for the 
third party paper you want to use. You may call that tinkering.

Right now I'm using a HP Z3100. It has ABW as well. Some 
paper settings actually use a quad set, the rest is based on 
3 grey inks. The inks are really neutral. You can get a HP 
B&W profile for HM HPRBrightWhite. The printer has 
integrated calibration so consistency is guaranteed. I've 
made a QTR profile for that ABW driver, just a bit more tone 
range. I like the ease and consistent results of that 
printer and its ABW mode but I have not forgotten what QTR 
could deliver.


Met vriendelijke groeten,  Ernst
