B&W printing on the 2400

2007-07-02 by Lynne Siler Photography

Thanks Clayton - I did make sure the color management was off when I  
tried to print B&W. The contrast is strange in terms of how the  
values are distributed, but the color version printed fine. I used  
Advanced B&W printing, tried "darkest" in the tonal corrections to  
get some density, turned down the contrast, but it still looks  
"strange". I'm printing on Epson velvet and used the epson velvet  
best photo profile.

How are the rest of you printing your fine art B&W  images? I've been  
using velvet for years and am very hopeful about the neutrality I can  
get with this printer (coming from the 2200) but am dying to figure  
out the best way to get good , rich B&W prints. Any advice is  
appreciated.

Thanks,
